Students showcase innovative skills at "Ideathon 2026,"
The students, using a well-coordinated combination of hardware and software, created projects that address everyday problems while also addressing future needs. All teams presented their projects to judges and guests, who evaluated them based on the originality of the idea, technical understanding, and usability of the solution.
This project was developed by Codevidya. In collaboration with SECL, this program is being run in all nine DAV schools operated under SECL. Under this program, students are provided with skill-based education in areas such as digital marketing, data analytics, financial literacy, artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotics, and entrepreneurship.
The chief guest at the program was Biranchi Das, Director (Human Resources), SECL. He praised the innovative ideas and models presented by the students and encouraged them.
In a media interaction, Das stated that children are the future of the country, and platforms like this provide them with an opportunity to showcase their talents and advance. He stated that efforts are being made at various levels to promote innovation and new talent in the country. These young innovators can play a crucial role in solving future challenges facing human life in various fields.
