At Curiosity Carnival, We are excited to introduce a competition - Prototyping Your Ideas!
What is it all about?
This competition celebrates the process of creation, where curiosity, imagination, and problem-solving come together. It invites participants to explore a world where technology and sustainability intersect, encouraging the development of futuristic gadgets, eco-friendly innovations, and revolutionary ideas that can transform our lives.
Themes:
-
Curiosity Exhibits: This theme invites participants to develop prototypes that spark curiosity about scientific phenomena, objects, or natural processes. The goal is to show how curiosity leads to exploration, inquiry, and innovation, motivating others to dive deeper into scientific discovery. Prototypes should aim to engage people visually or interactively, inspiring them to think critically about the world around them.

-
Imagine the Future: Participants are encouraged to design futuristic prototypes that reflect your vision of what the world might look like. Think beyond current boundaries—how will technology evolve? How might humans live, work, and interact with animals and nature in years to come? We encourage you to consider the challenges and possibilities of tomorrow.

Design Social and Behavioral Interventions: This theme focuses on creating prototypes that address societal challenges by fostering positive social and behavioral changes. Develop solutions that promote sustainability, improve community well-being, or drive better interactions between people and their environment. Whether it's an eco-friendly product or a community-driven initiative, your prototype should emphasize the transformative power of policy and innovation in shaping our future.
Why participate?
This competition is not just about the final product; it’s about the journey of creation itself. It’s an opportunity to express creativity, sharpen problem-solving skills, and connect with fellow innovators. Who knows? your ideas could ignite the next breakthrough in technology or sustainability! ​
