Coolest Projects returned for its second year in India on Saturday 19 September, taking place in Telangana’s state capital Hyderabad once more.

This year’s India event brought together 326 young technology creators who showcased 132 projects: India’s young tech creator community is clearly growing stronger. From AI to hardware to the web, young people’s projects took on topics that mattered to them, covering the playful to the practical.

A showcase of standout ideas

Here are just a few of the creative projects young people shared on the day.

Vhedhya, Tanvi, Bhavani, Sameeksha

Vhedhya, Tanvi, Bhavani, and Sameeksha | Fruit keys — Advanced programming

Fruit keys is a project that turns fruit into a musical instrument. The team used a Raspberry Pi computer, a camera, and the software library OpenCV. Bananas work as virtual keys that trigger musical notes. An apple lets players switch between instrument sounds. It’s a fun example of how computer vision can create touch-free, interactive experiences.

Kumari, Bhoomika, and Shaurya | Kinetic care — Hardware

Kinetic care is a smart physical therapy system for use at home. A camera tracks the user’s movements, so they can play a therapy-based video game while they exercise. A wearable sensor watches for sudden or unsafe muscle movements. If it spots one, it sends a vibration alert straight away to help prevent injury. The project shows how hardware can make rehabilitation safer and more engaging.

Srishti, Kimaya | Chrome dino in real life — Games

This is a dinosaur-themed game with a motorised conveyor, moving obstacles, and increasing difficulty. Players dodge obstacles using a button while LEDs and sound effects create an arcade experience. High scores unlock rewards!

A day to remember

Bringing Coolest Projects to India for a second year showed us just how much creativity and ambition exists among young people here. Every project represented hours of learning, problem-solving, and imagination, and it’s a privilege to give these creators a platform to be seen and celebrated.

Events like this shine a light on why investing in young people’s digital skills matters so much for India’s future. 

What stood out to us most this year was the breadth of ideas on display, and the confidence with which these young tech creators presented their work. It’s a strong signal of where India’s next generation of creative thinkers and problem-solvers is heading.

A huge thank you to our partner Code Club India for their support with this event, to the volunteers and mentors who made the day possible, and to our sponsors Qube Research and Technologies. And most of all we want to thank every young creator who showed up ready to share and connect with their community. We can’t wait to see what you build next.

Coolest Projects India is officially a wrap, and we are absolutely thrilled with the results! The event, held on 20 September 2025 in Hyderabad, Telangana, was a fantastic showcase of the incredible talent and passion of young creators. With over 250 participants, young creators showcased 118 projects, demonstrating the thriving digital making community across India.

The projects on display were truly inspirational, tackling important topics such as environmental sustainability and the responsible use of AI. From hardware to Scratch to AI, creators showcased an incredible variety of projects that brought their ideas to life, from simple creations to complex inventions.

Here are just a few of the standout projects from the day.

Avyukt, 9 years old | The EchoCharm Spellbox, Hardware category

A truly magical project was The EchoCharm Spellbox, an interactive creation that used a Raspberry Pi computer and a speaker to bring the famous Harry Potter artifact to life. This project was a perfect blend of creativity and coding, showcasing how technology can be used for fun and entertainment.

Aahil, 11 | Automatic Seed Sowbot, Hardware category

We were also blown away by the Automatic Seed Sowbot, a practical invention that used a tiny camera and AI to quickly and accurately sort seeds. This clever hardware project tackles a real-world problem and has fantastic applications in agriculture and farming.

Pranamya, Medha, Manvi, Aradhna — these 13-year-old-girls all come from Karnataka state | Unspoken Truths, Mobile apps category

Another brilliant project that we saw was Unspoken Truths, a fun mobile app for interesting conversations to reveal hidden truths and secrets about yourself and your friends. If you’re ever looking to break the ice or deepen your connections, Unspoken Truth provides an entertaining way to start a conversation.

A community of creators

From first-time coders to seasoned programmers, every young person showcasing their work had the chance to celebrate their ideas and feel part of a vibrant community. The event created a unique atmosphere where participants were able to proudly share their projects with family, friends, and the wider coding community. They all received certificates to celebrate their fantastic achievements.

This year’s showcase brought together creators from different parts of the country, highlighting the incredible passion for digital making in India. It was a powerful reminder that when you put technology into the hands of young people with curiosity, there is no limit to what they can create.

A massive thank you to our organisers, volunteers, and the dedicated mentors who made the event possible. And most importantly, thank you to the young creators of India for sharing their ingenuity and creativity with us! We can’t wait to see what you’ll build next.

Thank you to our sponsors, Qube Research and Technologies, for sponsoring the hardware category.
