Is there any genuine competition which focus on developing kids rather than making it a way to earn money?

We have number of competitions taking place everyday, if you see any school calender you will find a number of days getting sacrificed in these activities but I am still not sure as to how many of them really focus to bring out genius of a child. Is there any genuine competition which focus on developing kids rather than making it a way to earn money?
Yes! Certainly there is a competition that seeks to nurture and unleash the genius within a child. And what makes it truly 'genuine' is the purpose, the unique concept and format that is used in the competition.





The competition is Iken Scientifica, its a nationwide search for the Student Icon of India. The competition is being conducted across the length and breadth of the country and has a participation of more than 4 lakh students. But more than the scale, its the style that distinguishes this competition; for it is completely hands-on and it prods students to observe, explore and experiment.





Moreover, it is a 'test for learning' rather than a 'test of learning' as it provides instant feedback which augment a students learning and provide the teacher and parents an insight into the students understanding and learning pattern which pave way for the child's enhanced performance.





And be rest assured that it is not a gimmick to earn money. Since not only is the participation for it free, but infact it gives you a chance to earn prizes worth Rs.50,00,000!
