🏆 From Odisha Roots to Irish Innovation

Spotlight: Eesaan Moharana – The Future of Tech

The Achievement
At SETU Computer Science Awards, Eesaan from De La Salle College stood tall as he secured 1st Prize for his Leaving Cert Computer Science project.

The Innovation
Eesaan didn’t just write code; he built a life-saving solution.

His Wildfire Detection System combines:

*Hardware Sensors:For real-time environmental monitoring.
*Mathematical Modelling:To calculate the probability of fire outbreaks.
* Ecological Intelligence:Identifying which specific tree species are most vulnerable to the flames.

Competing against numerous schools, Eesaan's project stood out for its technical depth and its potential to solve a real-world climate crisis. We are incredibly proud to see an Odia student leading the way in STEM in Ireland!

Congratulations Eesaan on this stellar win! 🇮🇪🤝🇮🇳
