EduQuest added another feather in its cap by partnering with Imperial College London, the second-best institution of higher learning, as per QS rankings, to conduct a STEM competition that invited teams from schools across all parts of India. High school students got an excellent opportunity to offer STEM solutions that can transform the world for the better. Each scientific solution had to be correlated to one of the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. Teams from more than 65 schools throughout India participated with great enthusiasm in what turned out to be a massively successful maiden edition of an annual event to look forward to.
Young minds responded to this contest with unthinkable and unimaginable STEM solutions with real potential to transform the world for the better. The STEM solutions for the accomplishment of SDGs offered by students were indeed of high merit and inspiringly innovative. In doing so, the participating teams were mentored by Imperial College London’s faculty, and the winners got a chance to travel to Imperial College London on an all-expenses-paid trip to London. This one-of-its-kind competition, helmed by EduQuest in collaboration with Imperial College London, set a new benchmark for STEM events in India.
Why Does It Matter?
Visionary opportunities like these inspire independent thinking in young students and inspire them to work for change. Active students of today will go on to become change leaders of tomorrow, and such an event, backed by Imperial College London, acts as a perfect catalyst for leadership development in the sphere of STEM fields. In the present dynamics of a world in transit, STEM innovations will be the greatest driving force that is best propelled by an event like this.
