All the teams will start their project from day 1 itself. There will also be introductions, games, and learning sessions for the whole cohort in the first week. From the 2nd to the 7th week, the teams will focus on working on their projects under the guidance of their allocated mentor. The teams will wrap up their projects in the 8th week. In the end, there will be a project showcase involving distinguished guests. The team members will be flexible with their individual working hours but will have to attend the weekly meetings mandatorily.

  • Projects
  • What are some example projects students will work on?
    expand_more
    The mentors will already have prepared the general project idea and its outline, which will be revealed to the students on the first day. The students will be placed in teams where they work on a single project. The project could range from any field: biology, physics, computer science, economics, and arts (based on the students' interests). The projects will involve either writing a research paper or preparing a prototype of an app. In the past, students of a computer science team created a currency-recognition app for the visually impaired community while the physics team researched the tilt angles of solar panels according to different geographical belts in Nepal.
