Student Innovation Spotlight: DIY Inventory App
At Orchids, we celebrate young innovators who use creativity and technology to solve real challenges. Today, we highlight an AI-powered application developed by Arnav, a Grade 7 student from OIS Sarjapur. His project reflects how students can build practical digital tools that make everyday school operations smarter and more efficient.
DIY Inventory App - Project Demonstration
🔧 DIY Inventory App – Smart Tracking for Lab Components
Arnav developed a DIY Lab Inventory App designed to help teachers and lab coordinators track equipment across branches. This innovative solution addresses the challenge of manual inventory management in school labs, bringing efficiency and accuracy to equipment tracking.
What the App Offers
- Teachers can log in or register with their branch
- Update the count of working tools and components
- Record shortages or damaged items in real time
- Generate automated reports to share with the central team
The app replaces manual stock checking with a clean, digital workflow. It can also be expanded for other departments such as Robotics kits, science lab equipment, library resources, and school-wide inventory systems.
