Welcome to my Aero World!

Design of an Automated Insecticide Sprayer (A.I.S)

This project was conducted by TeamWin to automate the insecticide spraying process of residential halls in Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi in order to mitigate the risk of inhaling insecticide.

In terms of function, the selected concept had an advantage over AIRWICK with respect to the electrocution function however both leveled out with respect to spraying and timing

Design, Fabrication & Test of an Agricultural Hexacopter.

Herein lies a step-by-step account of the design, fabrication, and test of a working remotely
controlled electric hexacopter capable of performing aerial spraying of liquid agro chemicals. The
scope of the entire piece is captured in five chapters.

Several improvements of designing aerial vehicles in KNUST, this group was tasked with
the mammoth task of designing a ‘new’ breed of hexacopters capable of carrying large payloads
of agro chemicals and spraying onto medium sized farms as required. More specifically, the
finished product was required to be lightweight yet strong enough to allow aerial spraying.
Due to the inexistenceof previous KNUST Aerospace Engineering works in the field of
agriculture, the agriculture aspect of the project was basically done from scratch. Through careful
analysis and thorough research on works from outside the university, five ingenious concepts were
developed and assessed. The engineering technique of a decision matrix was used in arriving at
the final concept.
A light-weight, geometrically suitable frame was chosen. The design emphasized functionality as
well as aesthetics. As such, efforts were made to ensure that all wiring and exposed elements were
tucked in neatly. The spraying mechanism employed, made use of the geometry of the frame. For
instance, tubes carrying the spraying fluid were passed directly under arms with all cables and
wires passing through the holes of frames to avoid them hanging around the structure.
In the end, the finished product was characterized with the ability to carry a payload of 2kg on a
light structure in flight for aerial spraying

Navigating The New Aerospace - Post Covid-19.

The aviation industry has been hard hit by the current COVID-19 crisis due to travel restrictions and a slump in demand among travelers. This webinar was aimed at considering New Aviation Trends: Technology, Business, Policy, and Career opportunities.

As recent graduates and aviation enthusiasts, we want to inspire a new culture of thinking and doing to enable the industry to quickly respond and better solve problems post COVID-19.

It was a privilege to be part of this S.O.A.R conversation subtitled: NAVIGATING NEW AEROSPACE.

Girl Powered STEM Workshop.

The Robotics Education & Competition Foundation, VEX Robotics and INOVTECH STEM CENTER are working to make robotics reflective of the diverse world we live in, and the one we want to leave behind.

We're committed to showing how exciting it is to be involved with STEM, showcasing examples of how women are changing the world, providing tools for success, and enabling comfortable environments where all students' confidence and abilities can flourish.

Girl Powered means supporting all your teammates, classmates, friends and family to try new things and reach outside their comfort zone. Being Girl Powered means finding people who you don’t see in robotics, getting them to try it, and making them feel like they belong. It is about encouraging others, both girls, and boys, to actively embrace a more diverse culture. We want to encourage new experiences, a diverse culture, and a more encompassing definition of what a roboticist looks like.

This initiative is intended to bring all students who are interested together, to show them that they are welcome in the robotics community. We believe in the power of diverse creative teams, and want to make sure our programs attract as many students interested in STEM as possible. We want to create and engage communities of support for inclusive environments to break down societal obstacles, and provide opportunities for everyone to decide if robotics and STEM is right for them.

Does this mean Girl Powered excludes boys? Absolutely not, we are not pushing boys out. We think robotics is for everyone. The world needs a diverse cast of problem solvers and engineers. No two people see things the same way. We all have different backgrounds and different approaches to creative thinking.

This workshop is sponsored by Brich Hub , Ghana Education Service , Robotics Education & Competition Foundation , VEX Robotics and Jay’s Touch Production.

The New African Education Webinar

TQUAD is intentional about inculcating the new views of Education which are Participation, Solutions, Contribution,Responsibility and Continuity. We believe these should be the pillars of African Education moving forward.This project hopes to create a progressive culture of thinking and doing in our African youth circles.
