What is IGNITE 08?                                                                                          

The purpose of this contest is to uncover the hidden creative and innovation talent among the students.
IGNITE 08 solicits schools to encourage students to develop the innovation of the their students individually or in group and participate in this carnival.

What do we look forward from your project/innovation

  • Novelty
  • Originality (Just not a project from text book)
  • Practicality / Feasibility
  • Social Applicability
  • Incremental Innovation

Innovation can be a basic machines, gadgets, implements or processes for farm operations, household utility, transportation for improved efficiency, energy conservation or generation, and reduction in drudgery, creative use of biodiversity, plant varieties, generation of herbal remedies for human or animal health or developing new or any other low cost sustainable green technology related to various aspects of survival in urban and rural areas.

Creative ideas for innovative technologies, which have not yet become products, are eligible for participation..
We believe that given adequate recognition and mentoring, these ideas will change the world.

Samples of some of the ideas:
  1. Attaching a sensor to a fan, to automatically switch off the fan when no one is around.
  2. Using waste water to generate electricity for street lights.
  3. Attaching buckets to each other through a pipe, to minimize overflow of water.
  4. Using the fan like a windmill to generate electricity for other house-hold purposes.
  5. A bike which runs on the force generated by water and a turbine, instead of petrol.

'These are just a few ideas given by some of the young minds earlier. There could be more, just round the corner, ticking in the minds of the students around you.
