Celebrating the Brightest Minds of the Ashoka Horizons Brain Bomb Challenge
Each week, our Horizons Brain Bomb challenge invited high school students to tackle some of the most challenging and thought-provoking questions in particular disciplines. Through analytical write-ups, op-eds and insightful video submissions, these students demonstrated exceptional critical thinking, creativity, and the ability to think outside the box. From analyzing the future of international relations to exploring the ethical dimensions of genetic engineering, their work showcased a deep understanding of complex topics and a commitment to innovative problem-solving.
We are proud to feature these outstanding winners who stood out for their unique perspectives and well-reasoned arguments.
