Grade seven students at a local school in Ilam have assembled a prototype helicopter. The enterprising students have already conducted the test flight of their creation. Rehans Jha, Aditya Tamrakar and Nabin Tamang, students at the local Green Valley Academy, have been successful in their mission after a two-week uninterrupted effort. Rehans, who was the mastermind in assembling the helicopter, has already created a periscope and a quiz computer in collaboration with his colleagues and their creations are being demonstrated in educational expos in the district headquarters. The remote-controlled helicopter can fly up to a distance of 20 meters. “The ingenious students have made the school proud and the school is always with them in any efforts for new creations”, said Nabin Dhakal, a science teacher.
