Conducted over four weeks\, the programme provides participants with an opportunity to work collaboratively on solving real-world problems by appl ying the principles of design thinking\, creativity\, and rapid prototypin g.\n\nAs part of this initiative\, participating colleges will organize a series of workshops and mentoring sessions to guide student teams through every stage of the innovation process—from identifying meaningful proble m statements to developing practical\, user-centric solutions. Teams will receive technical guidance\, refine their ideas through structured activit ies\, and prepare prototypes that address real societal or industrial chal lenges.\n\nThe best-performing teams from each participating institution w ill be shortlisted to represent their college at the Girl Geeks 2026 Grand Finale\, organized in collaboration with IEEE Women in Engineering (WIE)\ , Bangalore\, where they will present their solutions before a panel of ex perts.\n\nThis workshop serves as an introductory and technical session\, providing participants with an overview of the programme\, the design thin king methodology\, problem identification techniques\, ideation strategies \, and expectations for successful project execution. The session also aim s to encourage innovation\, teamwork\, critical thinking\, and leadership while familiarizing students with the programme timeline\, evaluation crit eria\, and available mentorship throughout the initiative.\n\nThe event is organized by the IEEE Student Branch\, [Your College Name]\, in associati on with the IEEE Computer Society Bangalore Chapter\, with the objective o f fostering a culture of innovation and equipping students with the skills required to transform ideas into impactful engineering solutions.\n\nAgen da: \n- Registration and participant onboarding\n- Welcome address\n- Intr oduction to IEEE and the workshop theme\n- Technical session by the speake r\n- Interactive discussion and Q&A\n- Closing remarks and vote of thanks\ n\nB.M.S.
