CMC 2025: Highlights
Past Highlights & Testimonials
What students built. What changed because of it.
From solar lights that lit up entire homes to enzyme-based cleaners that rethought sustainability—CMC projects haven’t just made noise. They’ve made a difference. Each team started with one sharp question—and turned it into something real.
What They Built
Solar Lights for Under-resourced Homes
A finalist project tackling energy access through low-cost innovation.
EcoEnzyme Cleaners for Sustainable Hygiene
A student-led chemical solution that combined science, sustainability, and community outreach.
Food Repurposing System to Combat Hunger
Turning surplus food from homes and canteens into distribution networks for those in need.
Lending Library for Underserved Schools
Creating modular, shareable book systems and reading programs in schools with limited resources.
AI-Powered Education Access Tools
Projects exploring how to make online learning more inclusive, especially for students without consistent connectivity.
What Students Say
The CMC mentorship was invaluable. The structured approach, coupled with expert guidance, transformed my project from a mere idea to a well-defined plan.
Participating in the Change Maker Challenge was an unforgettable experience. The guidance from our mentors was exceptional and helped us develop our idea in ways we hadn’t imagined.
CMC helped us realise that even students can create real change. We started small—but ended up solving for something much bigger.

Inventure’s other innovative initiatives
Inventure Academy RS Youth Parliament
The inaugural Inventure Academy RS Youth Parliament – Our World, Our Voice was held from 15 to 19 August 2018.
The conference was conceptualised by Inventure Academy to equip children with the Right to Participate (guaranteed by Article 12 of the UNCRC) in the world that they are inheriting and to enable them to be positive change makers. This was achieved by exposing our youth to different perspectives, dialogues between nations and the process of decision-making through a blended platform of the Model United Nations (MUN) and Model Parliament (MP). The conference exposed students to the process of how laws are created and implemented through the interplay between various stakeholders, including international organisations such as the United Nations, National Parliament, Media and Civil Society. This helped to demonstrate how citizens (including children) can have an impact and be a part of the solution.
Model Parliament
Inventure initiated the Model Parliament (India), a first time simulation of the interaction between the Central and State governments, the Economic Council and the Media. The objective of this was to enable students to understand the importance of dialogue in society and in our political system, and enabling legislation that empowers and takes advantage of our demographic dividend. Through debate, discussion and perspective building, student delegates from various schools deliberated in different Committees on pressing issues like Child Safety, Water Crisis, Economic Development and Youth Involvement in Politics. Post this exercise, Committees drafted Bills, keeping as close as possible to Parliamentary procedures.
Our Core Purpose
Empower learners to realise their full potential, ignite change and create positive impact.
