The inventiveness of the science students at Obuasi Senior High and Technical School (Obuasi SHTS), which aims to address a relevant health issue in the nation, has captivated online users.
The creative kids have created dialysis equipment that helps patients with renal problems by running on solar power.
They showcased their invention at the 2024 Sci-Tech Innovation Challenge, which took place at the GNAT Hall.
In a video, the students described how the solar-powered dialysis equipment works, claiming that it removes waste products from the body and blood using the principles of osmosis and diffusion.

Obuasi SHTS wins the 2024 Sci-Tech Challenge
Obuasi SHTS won the 2024 Sci-Tech Innovation Challenge, which Primetime Limited and its partners organized. This year’s challenge theme was “Exploring Agritech Solutions to Boost Ghana’s Agricultural Industry.”
Schools like PRESEC Legon, Bosomtwe STEM Girls SHS, Fijai SHS, Ghana National College, and Obuasi SHTS competed for the trophy. Obuasi SHTS won the contest with its Osikani Farm Solution SHTS, a solar-powered agricultural system for small-scale farmers.
The innovation performs essential tasks such as weeding, watering, and fertilising while providing real-time monitoring of farm conditions through a smartphone app. This is the third time Obuasi SHTS has won the challenge.
