  "account": "The BrainyBotz STEM Innovation Challenge 2026, themed 'Beat the Heat: Cool Homes for All', encourages young minds aged 8 to 16 to innovate and design solutions for affordable, safe, and scalable ways to keep homes cool without relying on expensive air-conditioners. Participants, working in teams of two to four, will investigate the causes of home heat, understand heat transfer, and develop solutions using locally available materials. The competition, divided into three age groups - Explorers (8-10), Junior Inventors (11-13), and Design Engineers (14-16) - requires participants to research, develop prototypes, test their ideas, and present their findings. Registration is open until September 25, with the first submission due on October 10. The finals and awards are scheduled for November 21, with final projects to be displayed at Brainybotz' AROHA 2026 show. The challenge aims to reduce indoor temperatures by 4-8°C. For registration, contact BrainyBotz STEM through their website www.brainybotz.in or call 9391442996 or email team@brainybotz.in.",
