This year’s highlights include the 11th edition of the Sahyadri Science Talent Hunt (SSTH), an initiative aimed at motivating high school and pre-university students to devise solutions to pressing social challenges. SSTH focuses on mentoring students to approach problem-solving through innovative thinking, with experts from Sahyadri’s SHINE program guiding them. The challenges emphasize sustainability and community impact, encouraging students to transform their academic knowledge into actionable projects. To ensure participants are well-prepared, intensive design-thinking and problem-solving workshops were conducted at schools and colleges across Karnataka. Additionally, participants will engage with engineering students and faculty during the event, exploring first-hand the world of innovation and engineering through the “Be with Engineering” initiative over two immersive days.
Another much-anticipated part of Synergia 2024 is Devhost, a 24-hour hackathon hosted by the Sahyadri Open Source Community (SOSC). This event will include hackathons, e-sports, workshops, and tech talks, all crafted to inspire young minds to collaborate on real-world projects. Participants will work in teams to solve specific challenges, strengthening not only their technical abilities but also teamwork and communication skills, which are crucial for future success. Complementing SSTH and Devhost, the Sahyadri Robotics Club (SRC) will host a series of robotics competitions, including Robo Soccerand the Line Follower Challenge. These competitions give young engineers the opportunity to demonstrate their technical skills and creativity in a dynamic, competitive environment. Additionally, an electrifying air show featuring aerobatic displays, skydiving stunts, and disaster response simulations is set to captivate audiences and showcase the precision and artistry of aviation.
Synergia has established a legacy of encouraging young minds to pursue a culture of social entrepreneurship and technological innovation. Past editions have seen remarkable success, with several projects emerging as impactful social or entrepreneurial ventures. Many student-led innovations have focused on critical areas such as renewable energy, healthcare, and digital literacy, and some have even received further support and mentorship to scale into broader projects. The influence of Synergia and SSTH has extended beyond Sahyadri campus, fosteringa network of innovators who continue to contribute meaningfully to society.
