GIIS Creators’ Summit sees great ideas and overall success

The GIIS Creators&rsquo; Club organised the Creators&rsquo; Summit, a 3-month event aimed at inspiring students to come up with innovating solutions for problems faced in different fields and prototyping them to become feasible inventions. The event, spearheaded by Ashar Husain, Shakthi Vel Prabhakaran, and Ajay Vijayanand was a huge success, with over 27 teams joining in, consisting of students from classes 8-12.

The initial round of the event took place in June, wherein participants had to identify a problem they had witnessed in the world to which they believed they had an innovative solution. The students had to brainstorm and come up with unique ideas, jotting them down in a 1-page writeup, which was then vetted by the judges present. The participants received helpful feedback and suggestions from the team of judges on how to further improve their idea.

The second round was conducted in the following month, as a part of the GIIS STEAM Week. The participants had to present pitches of their ideas to a panel of judges, each representing in a specific field of study. Although faced with harsh criticism from the judges, the participants persisted with well-thought-out pitches and sound logistics.

The final round of the event was held on the 20th of August. Out of the initial 27 teams who entered the event, 16 finalists were chosen for this round, where they would have to build physical prototypes of their products and present them to the judges. The final round also featured an AI Development workshop by the GIIS Tech Club, a Chess Bot Development workshop by the GIIS Chess Club, a Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing workshop by the Creators&rsquo; Club as well as an exhibition by the GIIS Astronomy Club. The event concluded with the winners&rsquo; names being announced. Team Gotham Gambit won the first prize of $240 for creating a keyboard that could produce electricity. The second prize of $190 was secured by Team Femmasuer, who created a watch that could help women fend off attackers. Lastly, Team Big Bull won the third prize of $140 for their AI-based drone system that could help farmers in effective agricultural practice.

The Creators&rsquo; Summit was indeed successful in giving the students an opportunity to activate their innovation and entrepreneurial skills, which aligns with the 9 GEMS model of all-round education that GIIS has always followed through.
