AIM celebrated the completion of its flagship program for school students, 'Made in 3D - Seed the Future Entrepreneurs' in partnership with La Fondation Dassault Systèmes India. The event marked the culmination of an eight-month journey dedicated to fostering innovation and entrepreneurship among young minds.

From 140 schools across India, the top 12 teams demonstrated remarkable innovation in product design and a deep understanding of finance, business and marketing strategies in their startup pitches.

Students of Shri Dada Maharaj Natekar Vidyalaya, a village school in Chikhali, Maharashtra, stood first. Orchid School in Pune secured the second position, while Springdales School in Dhaula Kuan, Delhi secured the third position.

The top performing teams from the ATL Marathon organized by AIM were nominated to participate in the event.

In this program the selected schools will form a team of six students and one teacher to create a pseudo startup. As a startup, students have to identify a dream product to solve a challenge they see around them, design it using 3D digital technology, manufacture it and develop a marketing strategy. A campaign has to be created which includes a product brochure, product advertising video and pricing strategy.
