There were 3 teams from the Winchester School who participated in the challenge; all the 3 teams possessed an innovative and creative idea for the users. The team Indian Entrepreneurs bagged the prize for the ‘Most Innovative Idea’ for their product called ‘itag’ which is specifically designed to track your belongings (bag, devices and even cycles etc) when lost or misplaced. It is accessible to multiple people to know the exact location through the application that can be downloaded in the App store and Play store, which is called ‘ctracing’.
