Blue Pellet: Organic Fertiliser
The students impressed the judges with their project, Blue Pellet, an organic fertiliser produced using recycled materials. Developed with sustainability in mind, the innovation aims to promote environmentally friendly agricultural practices by transforming recyclable waste into a useful organic fertiliser. The project highlights the students’ creativity while addressing the importance of waste management and environmental conservation.
For their remarkable achievement, the team received the Gold Award as well as the Special Award for Best Pitch Video in the Primary Category. The awards recognized not only the quality of their innovation but also their confidence and excellence in presenting their project to the judges.
The road to success involved months of dedication and teamwork. The students carefully researched environmental issues, developed and tested their innovation, prepared a working prototype, and created presentation materials. They also spent considerable time refining their pitch through repeated practice sessions with the guidance and encouragement of their teachers.
Their achievement reflects the growing potential of young innovators in Malaysia and demonstrates how creativity, determination, and strong mentorship can inspire meaningful solutions to real-world environmental challenges. The success of the Blue Pellet project also serves as an inspiration for other students to embrace innovation while contributing towards a more sustainable future.
