We're hosting an exciting event called Think Tank this year. So, what is it about? People around the world face a variety of serious problems everyday. One of the major solutions to this is technology. In this contest, we want to see how you can harness the power of technology to build projects to solve such problems. So, put your thinking caps on and change the world!
All the projects will be presented at Interface on 5th November. The most feasible solutions will be implemented by Reap Benefit and other NGOs under UN's Youth Forums Program. The best ideas will be selected to represent Kumarans for CBSE Science Fair by a jury of judges on 15th October.
This contest is open to students of grades 8-12 across all Kumarans branches in teams of two. Registrations close on October 8 for both CBSE Science Fair and Think Tank. For only Think Tank, registrations are open till October 20. Please register at http://khmd.github.io. The last date to submit the project synopsis for it to be considered for both the contests is October 12 and October 25 for only Think Tank, to [email protected]
You will have 2 options:
o You can suggest one problem you want to solve and submit your idea while registering.
o If you are not able to come up with a problem you want to solve, we will assign you one problem after registration. You have to brainstorm solutions to that problem.
You have to build a proper project for this and not just a chart or PPT. You can interact with Gautam Padiyar Aniruddha Mysore and Aabharan Hemanth who have been chosen as mentors for this to help you out.
