Delhi: The Innovate2Educate Handheld Device Design Challenge aims to revolutionize children's learning through innovative technology.

As part of the Create in India Challenge Season 1, the event falls under the WAVES (World Audio Visual & Entertainment Summit), particularly its AVGC-XR (Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming, Comics, and Extended Reality) pillar.

Organized by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting in collaboration with the Indian Digital Gaming Society (IDGS), the event has Hack2Skill as its Innovation Partner and ICT Academy as its Skilling Partner.

So far, 334 participants, including three international contenders, have registered.

The challenge invites academia, engineers, and designers to develop a handheld educational device that enhances children's learning in mathematics, promotes problem-solving, and boosts cognitive skills through interactive content.

The competition is structured in three phases—registration, concept submission, and prototype development.

Entries will be judged on innovation, educational value, user experience, cost-effectiveness, and durability. Winners will receive cash prizes, prototype development support, and opportunities to showcase their designs at IDGS events.

Registration closes on February 23, 2025, at 11:59 PM IST.
