A student in Jawzjan province has successfully built a farming machine with basic resources that can be controlled via smartphone.

This machine can assess weather conditions, identify fertile land, irrigate, and fertilize agricultural fields.

Alugh Beg, an 11th-grade student, displayed this device at a festival held by his school. He mentioned that building the farming machine cost 10,000 Afghanis, and he has more ideas he could bring to life if supported.

Alugh Beg told TOLOnews, "We built this project with 10,000 afghani, and if we receive support, we could adapt it for hundreds of thousands of lands in a smart way."

Haseebullah, another student, said, "Science festivals are an opportunity for every student to showcase their talent."

Ahmad Siyar, another student, said: "We want more of such events to enhance students’ abilities."

Meanwhile, officials from Afghan-Turk Boys’ School said they organized this science festival to encourage creative and innovative students.

They said that 150 students presented 60 of their projects at the festival.

Emre Gorbuz, principal of Afghan-Turk Boys' School in Sheberghan, said: "More than 40 scientific projects were displayed at today’s festival by around 150 students from our school. The annual science festival, held by the Turkish Maarif Foundation in Afghanistan, also features projects from Afghan-Turk schools across Afghanistan in Kabul."

Local officials in Jawzjan expressed their support for innovative and creative youth in all fields.

Saifuddin Moatasim, head of Jawzjan's Information and Culture Department, said: "Our support for such youth is at a high level. We’ve listened to them and provided the tools they need."

In recent months, various exhibitions showcasing young people’s handmade creations have been held in different provinces, with caretaker government officials promising continued support and facilities for them.
