About Young Creators League

What if you could use technology not just to imagine a better world—but to build it with your own hands?
 

Young Creators League (YCL) is more than a competition. It’s a tech innovation challenge for students in Classes 8 to 12, created by Plaksha University, where bold ideas meet real-world impact. 

At YCL, the themes you’ll explore — from food security and water conservation to clean energy, equitable healthcare, and AI for good — are inspired and guided by Plaksha’s cutting-edge research centers. You’ll identify problems that matter in your community, design prototype-based solutions, and showcase your journey to create meaningful change.

YCL 2026 Themes

Please note: These themes are not restrictions but invitations to think deeper. Feel free to draw inspiration, combine them, or even go beyond. At YCL, the goal is simple — to create solutions that truly matter.
