Ever since 2008, TGES is in a continuous effort to make students aware of the importance of innovation and creativity in the 21st century. TGES HACKATHON is an event that aims at creating an innovative product by students which do not exist in the market till date which enables students to formulate original ideas. This practical project is implemented for the students of grade 11 and 12.

 

Students are allowed to form groups of 4-5 members and identify different problems of the society which later helps them create a product which is a solution of the same. Students this year were asked to focus on the problems highlighted by the United Nations. The problems identified by the UN are termed as UNSDGs that fall into 17 different categories. The students created an innovative product in a time-lapse of 30 days along with which students were to  create their own marketing plan that included:                 

                                                                                     -A logo

                                                                                     -Radio jingle

                                                                                     -TV advertisement 

                                                                                     -Website
