Thunaithon reaches its final stage Monday.
Over eight weeks, middle- and high-school students have worked on problems they identified in their own schools. They researched, experimented and built prototypes, then tested and refined them with support from nearly 500 remote mentoring sessions. The work now moves into Thunaithon’s final stage, scheduled to begin Monday, November 9. Students will get in-person mentoring that day, present to judging panels on Tuesday, and exhibit their projects Wednesday, November 11, with separate recognition ceremonies for female and male students. Projects can come from different fields; they don’t have to be technical, and students don’t need prior programming experience. The starting point is understanding a problem and proposing a practical solution.
