How a Small Spark Became Dakshina Kannada's Largest Rural Science Fair

What began in June 2025 as a small spark grew into a five-month initiative that Team ACT now describes as Dakshina Kannada's largest rural science initiative -- the CodeCraft Science Fair, run in partnership with CodeCraft Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

By its grand finale in November 2025, the programme had brought together students from over 46 schools, giving rural students hands-on exposure to science and technology that many would otherwise never encounter.

The Science Fair follows the same pattern as ACT's other flagship initiatives, from Belaku's hands-on Physics and Chemistry experiments to the Tech Spark Summer Camp's STEM immersion: practical, experiential learning delivered directly in rural schools, not as an occasional add-on but as a sustained, multi-month commitment.
