OLA Girls’ Senior High School, Kenyasi, has secured third place in the 6th edition of the Energy Commission’s Renewable Energy Competition.
The school won items worth GH¢100,000 and a cash prize of Gh¢75,000 among several gifts for their remarkable innovation.
The team developed a smart system designed to detect and repel pests—particularly birds—on rice farms.
The technology uses robotics and sensors to identify the presence of birds and then triggers a loud alarm to scare them away.
