The 12th edition of Amalthea, the entirely student-run annual technical summit of the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IITGN), recently concluded at the Institute with its trademark blend of expert knowledge and hands-on learning with fun. This year’s theme – ‘Initiate Innovate Inspire’ – encouraged young minds to ponder upon current issues and seek innovative and feasible solutions.

Having rooted deeply in fostering innovation and creative thinking by providing a forum for people to exchange their ideas and thoughts, Amalthea aims to serve as a bridge between industry and academia in order to connect and discuss pivotal technological prospects. The two-day event was packed with a host of exciting tech events and activities to match the enthusiasm and energy of hundreds of students and participants from across the country.

On the first day of Amalthea’22, students participated in Icon, an ideation conference to boost innovative entrepreneurial mindset among students, where they can pitch their exceptional ideas/innovations in front of industry experts. The event was themed on ‘Technological Innovations for Sustainable Development’ with a vision for a self-reliant India. The participating teams came up with many creative solutions for some of the prevailing problems, focusing on reducing costs, increasing outreach, and reducing environmental pollution. Some of the creative ideas were: Golden Plastics – directly utilising waste plastic for 3D printing it into useful products; BlisCare – a non-invasive antenatal care device to help pregnant women; Atlas – Hydrogen fuel cell hybrid electric bike to reduce the charging time of EVs and reduce harm to the environment.
