Toyota Hackathon Toyota organized 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 X, and Drishti Makhijani of class XI bagged the second position.
