This team of young innovators from DR N SHANKARA ADYANTHAYA MEMORIAL ENGLISH MEDIUM HIGH SCHOOL, NITTE, Karnataka are one of the winners of the Atal Tinkering labs (ATL) Marathon 2020.
Here is their Innovation summary
Digital Scarecrow for Smart Farming
The project aims at making a digital scarecrow which detects and chases the birds flying in the vicinity of the device. When the sensor detects any
obstacle, a buzzer will beep and scare the birds. A bulb located in the house
of the farmer will indicate the presence of the birds. The Servo motor is used and it rotates round the scarecrow to 360 degree, to detect birds around the field.
If Ultrasonic sensor detects any birds flying around the field, information will be transferred to Arduino board. Arduino processes this information. The LED will start glowing and buzzer will beep. The LED turns off automatically once the bird moves away from Ultrasonic sensor range. This process repeats if the bird does not fly away or appears again. Ultrasonic sensor range is about 15 cm

– Electrical fence will hurt animals and birds. Our model doesn’t harm
birds.
– The farmers can understand the model easily because its operation is
simple.
– It is cost effective and affordable.
– It can be used for larger areas.
