Indian Teen Wins Hackathon for Pottery Waste Puzzle Kits

Amairah Anand, a 12th-grade student from New Delhi, won a big prize for her clever idea called 'Purani Pottery Puzzles.'

She takes broken pieces of blue pottery that would normally be thrown away and turns them into fun puzzles for kids.

Each puzzle comes with a story about the artisan who made the original pot and a fun fact about pottery and the environment.

Amairah's project helps the environment by recycling pottery waste, supports local artisans by giving them extra income, and teaches children about sustainability and Indian culture.

Her puzzles are now being sent to schools and families all over the world, like in the USA and Europe.

She wants to show that taking care of the planet can be fun and helpful at the same time.
