“Vikas Gupta, Vankshu Kumar, Pooja Chandra, Raunak Sinha and Anirudh Gautam have a lot in common. For one, all of them are 16. They are all students of Tagore International School in the Capital.

The contest is being held for the first time this year, and the organisers plan to make it an annual event. The winners have bagged an iMac computer as the prize.
