Let us check out what is the challenge and how you can participate.

It is a Critical Thinking Challenge

Do you ever wonder,
What are you ‘Curious’ about?
What are you ‘Concerned’ about?
And what do you want to Create? 

Critical thinking is one of the most essential 21st-Century-Skills. Our ability to comprehend the problems and solve them will be the biggest link between our learning and success. Innovative Young Citizens Challenge is just that.

The participants will provide Innovative Solutions for the given Problem Statements!
