First-edition format
Chinar Spark 1.0 was listed for July 8–14, 2026 at the University of Kashmir, with offline and live-online participation. The program included mentorship from professionals connected with NIT Srinagar and GMC Srinagar.
Two learner tracks
The Junior Track introduced Classes 6–8 to guided problem-solving, teamwork, AI tools, and confidence-building. The Future Builders Track gave Classes 9–12 deeper exposure to founder thinking, AI workflows, communication, and pitching.
What students worked toward
Across the week, teams moved from understanding a real-life problem to building and presenting a simple AI-supported solution before parents and a feedback panel.
