Our halls reverberated with the dynamic energy of 70 student projects, sparking coding passions and fostering discussions on sustainability at INNO-QUINTET! Nagasahashra’s gold medal at Nationals serves as a testament – dreams do have the power to turn into reality!

As we bid farewell to December, let’s carry its valuable lessons and infectious laughter into the new year. Together, let’s weave a tapestry of brilliance, compassion, and boundless possibilities.
