📝Description

Are you a student interested in STEM, but not backed by your school due to lack of opportunities? Worry not, Innov-8 is here to bridge the gap. Innov-8 is a platform where like-minded STEM enthusiasts can connect and team up together, explore various opportunities, create and share projects, connect with mentors. As a student, having a source of sharing their school projects publicly online itself serves as a motivation factor for them. Innov-8 is not only a platform for students, but also a one-stop platform for the unorganized sector of science exhibitions. Often, science exhibitions are limited only to a specific school, although the school might want to draw in more competition. Especially after the pandemic, organizers realize the need of having an online presence.
To draw a analogy, Innov-8 is for school-level science event organizers what Devfolio is for hackathons. A single platform to streamline the entire process.
Talking about commercial viability, sponsors are always interested in funding events for school students. Innov-8 also serves as a platform to connect organizers with interested sponsors.
