Toyota, organised a Hackathon aimed at generating awareness about road safety, but not just through the conventional way; instead, through an interactive and innovative participatory platform, open to students. During this hackathon session, first the students brainstormed an idea and then they coded it in the next 24 hours, missing on their sleep. The projects then were judged by a jury, 11 projects were chosen for the final round. Wherein they presented their idea in front of various dignitaries including the special commissioner of Delhi police and the Director of Ministry of Road Transport and Highway. Two students from our school, Navan Chauhan of class 10th, and Drishti Makhijani of class 11th bagged the second position. Along with a cash prize of Rs.15000/- they now get an opportunity wherein Toyota India will help incubate their products and they will also get a chance to visit their headquarters in Bangalore this summer 2019.
