Robotics - Design of a Hazard Alarm.

Here is the design of a Hazard Alarm -- conceptualized to prevent hazards including heavy rain causing floods, tornadoes and hurricanes. It was built using the Lego Education WeDo 2.0 https://education.lego.com/en-us/shop/wedo%202 and uses a smart hub and sensors for robotics.



Agneya presented his design at a local meeting of technology professionals (Web Developers Meet) in Buffalo who were quite excited to see his new creation!

Dogman 2 - A comic adaptation of Dav Pilkey's Dogman

Dogman2 is an adaptation of Dav Pilkey's character Dogman (https://www.scholastic.com/teachers/books/dog-man-by-dav-pilkey/) -- the crime biting canine who is part dog, part man and ALL HERO.

In Dogman2, Agneya explores the recent adventures of the cat Petey, the cops and Dogman himself. Petey is thrown into prison, but manages to sneak out when Dogman goes to buy fish from a local pet store. But luck works against Petey as Dogman (the hero) prevails!

An interesting characteristic of this comic book is the design of a homemade 'flip-o-rama' (https://blog.whsmith.co.uk/tfbc917-dav-pilkey-how-to-make-your-own-flip-o-rama/) which he thoroughly enjoyed designing -- he kept flipping the pages until ... (the parents had to complain)

The manuscript does contain a few spelling errors, but some of them are apparently intentional -- for e.g. 'whaxx' instead of 'wax' , 'supa' instead of 'super' and 'snuck' instead of 'sneak'.

Do give it a read -- the author eagerly waits for your comments on this adaptation!
