A Milestone Achievement for Next Grids: Collaborating with News 1st Channel for an Unforgettable Hackathon and Startup Pavilion.
We're thrilled to share the incredible journey Next Grids embarked on in partnership with News 1st Channel, marking a significant milestone in our journey towards educating students. Our collaboration aimed to organize an extraordinary Hackathon and Startup Pavilion, and it turned out to be nothing short of amazing.
Empowering Youth and Innovation
Our adventure took us through the gates of 9 prestigious colleges, engaging with the brightest minds across campuses. The enthusiasm was palpable, as over 95 teams, comprising more than 300 students, stepped up to the challenge, eager to showcase their innovative solutions.
A Unique Format That Unleashed Potential
Setting this event apart was our unique approach to the preliminary rounds, conducted within the college premises themselves. This innovative format allowed us to tap into the vast pool of talent right at its source, culminating in the selection of 24 exceptional teams. These teams were given the golden opportunity to present their prototypes to an esteemed jury, a testament to their hard work and creativity.
Gratitude to Our Community
This monumental event was made possible by the collective effort of countless individuals who believed in the power of innovation and the potential of our youth. We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone involved - from the organizers and participants to the mentors and judges. Your dedication, support, and enthusiasm have been the driving force behind this successful endeavor.
As we reflect on this amazing journey, we're filled with pride and gratitude. The Hackathon and Startup Pavilion was not just an event; it was a celebration of talent, innovation, and the collaborative spirit that defines Next Grids and our partners.
Thank you to News 1st Channel, all participating colleges, and the incredible students who made this experience truly unforgettable. Here's to many more collaborations that inspire and empower the leaders of tomorrow!
