On Saturday, August 2nd, we witnessed an incredible showcase of student ingenuity at the SPARK Challenge, held in Colombo.
This event brought together some of the brightest young innovators tackling real-world challenges through sustainable and scalable engineering solutions. We are proud to announce this year’s winners:

Champions – Team Zypher
Project: BSFix – A Revolutionary Black Soldier Fly (BSF) Farming Unit
Led by Demitha Manawadu, Team Zypher introduced a compact, odor-controlled, and scalable BSF system to convert organic waste into animal feed and compost. Their solution combats methane emissions, supports SDG 13 (Climate Action), and promotes circular economy practices.

1st Runners-Up – Team Dyson Sphere
Project: SEIAN – Smart Energy Integration and Automation Network
Led by Rusula Oshadha Pathirana, this team designed an intelligent, fault-tolerant inverter system that maintains grid stability during outages and supports the growth of decentralized renewable energy systems.

2nd Runners-Up – Team Rysera
Project: URO MONITOR – Smart Urine Output Monitoring System
Led by Sahan Cooray, Team Rysera developed an IoT-enabled medical device to automate urine output tracking in ICUs and dengue wards—boosting accuracy, reducing nurse workload, and improving patient care in Sri Lanka’s hospitals.

Congratulations to all the winning teams for your innovation, teamwork, and commitment to engineering solutions that matter. The SPARK Challenge continues to be a launchpad for real impact!
