Budding Scientist
Under this category, the contestants will be segregated in juniors (classes 8 to 10) and seniors (classes 11 and 12 or junior and senior Intermediate).
The objective is to engage young vibrant minds in research to understand, explore and present a science project in line with the ‘Make in India’ or ‘Digital India’ concept.
Projects must be developed based on these two themes and each project will have only two students.
Schools will nominate their best science projects one each in juniors and seniors category and should exhibit their project for three-minute-long presentation followed by a question-answer session by judges.
Prize distribution
Prizes will be given on the same day immediately after the event and the results will be published in The Hindu edition the next day.
The three events will be organised concurrently in different rooms.
