New Delhi: IIT Delhi is inviting high school students (11th and 12th grade) and first-year undergraduate students passionate about working on innovative solutions to the environmental challenges facing the planet to apply for a three-week 'Change Makers 2025 Summer Bootcamp' from 09 to 27 June, 2025.

This transformative initiative by IIT Delhi Academic Outreach and Makerspace is a wonderful opportunity to work with like-minded students from different parts of the country. The selected students would get to work on the ill-defined environmental problems and contribute to bringing about a change by suggesting impactful prototypes of solutions for them.

The environmental problems and solutions that the students would work on could lie in any of the domains of engineering, pure sciences, design, humanities and social sciences, management, policy, or be of interdisciplinary nature.

The first two weeks of the bootcamp will be online, and the third week will be at IIT Delhi in person on the theme of "Sustainability and Innovation". This will be a non-residential bootcamp, and the selected students will have to travel to IIT Delhi during the third week of the program.

How to apply: Interested students may fill out this application form: https://forms.gle/oVMD3YRSFBH2Tb5d6.

Last date to apply: 15th April 2025 or until the slots are available.

Bootcamp 2025 highlights:

● Collaborate with like-minded, young change makers on the pressing environmental challenges through an interdisciplinary approach.
