In a vibrant celebration of Goa’s festive spirit intertwined with cutting-edge technology, Qurious Mind Infotainment Pvt. Ltd. successfully hosted the Prize Distribution Ceremony of Robotics Chavath 2025 at the Goa Science Centre, Miramar on 18 October 2025.
The event marked the culmination of a landmark initiative under Qurious Mind’s vision to make robotics learning accessible and engaging for Goan students. Hosted by Prabita, Seema, Anushka, Kalpak and Parshuram, the evening brought together students, educators and dignitaries in a shared celebration of creativity, innovation and Goan tradition.
Founded in 2024, Qurious Mind has been at the forefront of promoting hands-on robotics education across Goa. Through flagship events like Sankalpana, Stem Quest, Robotics Chavath and Robo Narkasur Challenge, our organization continues to inspire young minds to explore the intersection of science, technology and culture.
This year’s Robotics Chavath Competition saw an overwhelming 1,500 registrations across three categories — Tech Matoli, Robo Aarti and Mushak Bot, with participation from over 200 schools across Goa, as well as entries from Murudeshwar and Kolhapur. The creativity extended beyond physical models, with 400 Instagram reels showcasing innovative student projects.
The qualifying entries were judged by –
1. Flt. Lt. Manoj Jamsandekar (Retd.)
2. Ms. Shruti Simepurushkar
3. Mr. Abhay Bhamaikar
4. Mr. Laxman Naik Dessai
Hon’ble Shri Subhash Shirodkar, Minister for Water Resources and Cooperation, graced the event as Chief Guest, alongside Guest of Honour Shri Manoj Patil, Chairman of the Goa Badminton Association, and Mrs. Shubhada Pednekar, Education Officer, Goa Science Centre.
We also had tremendous support from our partners — Goa Technology Association (GTA), Rotary Club, JCI Zone 11, Lions Club, BNI Goa Region, TEDx, and the Computer Dealers Forum of Goa (CDFG). We sincerely thank each of them for believing in our vision and helping make this event a grand success.
The ceremony concluded with the Level 1 Robotics Construction Certificate distribution, followed by the announcement of competition winners across all categories for their outstanding participation. Special awards were presented to Mahila & Nutan High School, Margao, for the School with the highest reels registrations, and Mrs. Priyanka Pednekar from Mahalsa Narayani High School, Verna, for registering the maximum reels by a Teacher/Mentor.
The evening ended with applause, group photographs and a shared sense of pride — celebrating Goa’s young innovators who are shaping the future with imagination, teamwork and technological excellence. Congratulations to all our participants, winners, mentors, schools and partners who made this event such a grand success.
