What happens at a summer school where nearly 100 curious high school students from across the country come together for 8 days with the shared purpose of taking on the world's complex challenges? This spirit embodied the Ahmedabad Grand Challenges Programme 2026, where the campus came alive with curiosity. Classrooms became laboratories of exploration, ideas were passionately discussed, and questions opened the door to new possibilities. Students immersed themselves in masterclasses, field experiences, and thought-provoking discussions. They explored grand challenges through three distinct tracks. These were Science, Technology and Innovation; Humanities and Social Change; and Management, Enterprise and Futures, where students worked collaboratively to design solutions that matter. There were moments of intense problem-solving, hands-on learning, late-night brainstorming, and discoveries that extended beyond textbooks. From workshops to interdisciplinary projects, from critical thinking exercises to powerful presentations, every experience was a step towards becoming future-ready changemakers. Here's a glimpse into eight unforgettable days of curiosity, creativity, and collaboration. Juhi Bansal Parag Patel, PhD Parth Sarwate, EdD Ayesha Sheth Neelanjan Sircar Aditya Vaishya Kunal M.
