AKIPRESS.COM – A 17-year-old high school student named Aktilek Ergeshov from Tegirmech village in Kadamjai district, located in the Batken region, has invented a “smart trash can”.
When a person approaches the trash can, it opens automatically and a voice congratulates them for keeping the area clean.
Aktilek participated in a school competition in the region and spent a month constructing the trash can.
“I incorporated a battery that can last for about 10 days, as well as a flash drive, player, power supply, wires, and an ultraviolet distance sensor. I also personally recorded the congratulatory phrase in Kyrgyz for the trash can. Recently, I competed in a regional contest and won first place,” the student explains.
