It aims to cultivate innovation, problem-solving skills, and a culture of product development among young students.

These challenges require innovative, scalable, and practical solutions, often involving a multidisciplinary approach. Participants are evaluated on criteria such as innovation, feasibility, impact, and technical proficiency, with the ultimate goal of developing solutions that can be implemented to address societal and industry-specific needs effectively.
