Hackathon 2025

A day where young innovators showcase ideas
that brighten our planet.

What is the Clean Energy Hackathon?

We invite your school to take part in the Clean Energy Hackathon 2025 in Bengaluru, an event where school teams create working models and learning materials based on green energy concepts such as solar power, wind energy, and hydropower.


This Hackathon is a group activity, where young innovators work together to build a physical model or prototype that explains a clean energy idea in a simple, practical way for young
learners.

WHY PARTICIPATE IN THE HACKATHON?

A hackathon is a day where tinkerers come together to make something with their hands. In this Clean Energy Hackathon, tinkerers will build a working model that shows how clean energy works.

It is a group activity where tinkerers think, design, build, and then explain their model to others.

WHAT STUDENT TEAMS WILL DO:

Once your school registers:

• Register a team of maximum 5 students (schools may form 1 or 2 teams).
• Each team will be given a Clean Energy topic (solar / wind / hydro / simple machines etc.).
• Teams will receive two weeks to prepare a physical model.
• In-school mentorship workshop will take
place on 15th December at the host school

EVENT DAY

On the Hackathon Day in Bengaluru, teams will come together to:

• Showcase their models
• Present to an expert jury
• See other school’s ideas
