TinkerFest 2026 Sparks Young Innovators

TinkerFest 2026 in Cuttack just proved that innovation has no age limit. Students across

the city gathered to push boundaries with three major challenges. The rover challenge

had teams building autonomous machines to navigate extreme terrain. The hydro rocket

challenge saw homemade rockets shooting into the sky using nothing but water pressure and physics.

But the real game changer was TinkerHaat, an entrepreneurship program where young minds pitched actual

startup ideas to industry mentors. Watching these students go from concept to prototype in

hours was incredible. Some built solutions for agriculture, others tackled urban waste management.

This wasn't just a competition, it was a launchpad for the next generation of problem solvers.
