The most Impactful Summer for Your Child

This summer, Meru International is providing your child the opportunity to participate in the Great Innovation Challenge (GIC). GIC is a game-show style learning experience where students take on fast-paced, hands-on creative challenges, stepping into the role of designers, engineers, inventors, and storytellers. They build, solve, and present real ideas, developing the skills needed to create in the real world. This week in school, your child had the opportunity to participate in the qualifier workshop for GIC.

The Qualifier workshop was designed to give students a brief, hands-on experience of working through a challenge, building, experimenting, and thinking through solutions where there isn’t always a single right answer. It was encouraging to see students engage actively and approach the tasks with curiosity and creativity.

Why Parents recommend GIC

Parents say GIC exposes students to unique, durable real world skills in an immersive way

Over the last two years:

• 2,000+ students have participated across Hyderabad
• Parents have given a recommendation score  8.2 / 10 on average
• Rated their child’s excitement to attend session each day at 4.7 / 5

What Your Child Will Do

Grades 3-5:

Get, Set, Create

Discover how ideas take shape through building and experimentation.

Students create towers, ramps, and interactive worlds while exploring structures, mechanisms, and game design, all while designing for someone else, building empathy into every decision.

The experience culminates in an Arcade Arena, a collection of games designed and built by the students themselves. The twist: Every game is created to be played by those without sight. On the final day, parents step in blindfolded, experiencing a world their child has imagined!

Grades 3-8:

Innovation Influencers

Children build creations that respond to the world using sensors and mechanisms.

Lights turn on, doors open and objects move in response to light, sound and touch.

They use these skills to create unusual solutions to everyday annoyances, and present them through a campaign.

Grades 6-8:

RoboMania

What if robotics felt like a sport?

Students build and code their own remote-controlled bots from scratch, learning the fundamentals of robotics through action.

Then it’s time for the arena. In a high-energy tournament, bots take on different terrains, navigate obstacles, and go head-to-head in intense challenges, pushing students to improve, rethink, and perform under pressure.

Even those who haven’t shown interest in STEM are drawn in by the thrill of building, competing, and seeing their creation in action.

No prior experience needed.

Parents can choose 1 or two programs for your child based on their interest. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
