  2. Grades 9 – 12 (Seniors)
  • A school can register as many teams as they want under each category
  • Once the registration deadline is over, all teams will be informed of the challenges they have to work on. The challenge theme will be different for Juniors’ and Seniors’ Category
  • The teams are given instructions on how they can demonstrate the immersion and ideation for the challenge statement. These will be submitted online
  • Based on the artifacts submitted online by each team, the IIT Madras Shaastra Team shortlists the 10 finalist teams in each Juniors and Seniors Category who will be invited for the 3 Day Prototyping finals at IIT Madras Campus
