Keystone High Students Win Second Place

Keystone High Students Win Second Place

Students from Keystone High School in Hyderabad won second place in a competition at IIT Kharagpur.

They created a special walking stick called the SonoStep Smart Cane to help blind people navigate better.

The stick uses a camera to detect obstacles and warns the user through sounds or vibrations.

The students worked on this project for two years while also doing their regular schoolwork.

They even talked to students at a school for the blind to understand their needs.

Their teachers helped them make sure the project was well-documented and useful, not just for the competition.

The award shows how students can solve real-world problems while studying.
