Orchids students win accolades at IIT Bombay’s 2025 TechFest in Bengaluru

When learning meets creativity, the results can be extraordinary. That's what happened at the IIT Bombay ‘TechFest 2025 - One of Asia’s Largest Science and Technology Festival in India’ where the spark burned bright in the minds of students from Orchids The International School, who turned concepts into creations and learning into innovation. Held at Orchids Sahakarnagar campus in Bengaluru, the zonal rounds of TechFest transformed the school into a hub of energy and experimentation. 

TechFest is an annual celebration of ingenuity and discovery. This year’s zonal edition featured four categories: Cosmo Clench, Maze Meshmarize, CoDecode, and TechFest Olympiad, each designed to  challenge technical prowess, reasoning, and imagination. From robotics to coding, every task pushed participants to use their classroom learning in practical situations, combining accuracy with creativity.
