Where ideas take flight.
Ideathon 2026 is the flagship event brought to you by ThinkLabs BOMIS, a student led innovation body at Birla Open Minds International School, Pampore. ThinkLabs is all about organizing technology and coding events that push students to think bigger, build smarter, and create something meaningful.
This event brings together young innovators, thinkers, and builders from across the region. The whole idea is simple: sit down with a real problem, brainstorm solutions with your team, and walk away with something you actually built. New skills, fresh perspectives, and connections with people who think the way you do.
It does not matter if you are writing your first lines of code or you have been building stuff for years. Ideathon 2026 is for everyone. Just show up curious and leave with experience.
What happens
The experience.
Ideathon 2026 is more than a competition — it is a hands-on learning experience designed to push you out of your comfort zone. Over two intensive days, you will tackle real-world challenges alongside like-minded students, guided by experienced mentors from the technology and education sectors.
Whether you are prototyping your first app or refining an idea you have been thinking about for months, this is the space to make it happen. Every team gets access to mentorship sessions, peer reviews, and dedicated time to iterate on their solutions before presenting to the judging panel.
By the end of Ideathon 2026, you will have gained practical skills in problem-solving, teamwork, and rapid prototyping — skills that go far beyond a classroom and prepare you for real-world challenges in technology and innovation.
Build from scratch
Take an idea from zero to a working prototype. No templates, no shortcuts — just you and the problem.
Learn from peers
Work alongside students from different backgrounds. Every conversation is a chance to pick up something new.
Mentorship
Get guidance from experienced developers and industry professionals who've been where you are.
Ship something real
Walk away with a project you actually built — something you can point to, iterate on, and be proud of.
