Open to school students from Grade 7 onwards, the expo provides an opportunity for participants to showcase their innovative projects, scientific models, and problem-solving ideas.

This platform aims to bridge the gap between classroom learning and practical application, helping students understand how innovation can create meaningful change in society.
Innovator’s Project Exhibition and Patent Workshop
A key highlight of the expo is the Innovator’s Project Exhibition, where students can present their projects to experts and peers. Participants will receive valuable feedback, helping them refine their ideas and enhance their presentation skills. The exhibition encourages originality, feasibility, and social relevance, motivating students to think deeply about the impact of their innovations.
In addition, the Patent Workshop introduces young innovators to the fundamentals of intellectual property rights. This session helps students understand how to protect their ideas, offering insights into patents, innovation ownership, and the journey from concept to commercialization. Such exposure is crucial in cultivating an entrepreneurial mindset from an early age.
Recognition, Rewards, and Motivation
To further motivate participants, the Young Innovators Expo – 2026 offers cash prizes worth up to ₹90,000.
