TECHTONIK 4.0
Welcome to TECHTONIK 4.0, a cutting-edge platform proudly hosted by Suncity School, 37D, under the aegis of GPSC (Gurgaon
Progressive Schools Conference), where the spirit of innovation meets the power of purpose. This year, our theme — “Code Green: The
Future of Sustainable Technology” — is rooted in the Japanese philosophy of “Kaizen(改善)”, which stands for continuous improvement.
Through this powerful theme, we encourage young innovators to develop and refine technology-driven solutions that reduce carbon
footprints and promote eco-friendly living. Inspired by the principles of Kaizen(改善), TECHTONIK 4.0 challenges students to think
progressively, act responsibly, and iterate meaningfully — because even the smallest improvements can lead to a transformative impact.

Aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), our mission is to nurture a generation of tech-savvy problem
solvers who are committed to building a greener, more equitable world. Within this vibrant arena of collaboration and creativity, we equip
students to confront and overcome the most pressing global challenges of our time — from climate change to sustainable urban
development.
Join us at TECHTONIK 4.0 — where innovation is driven by purpose, and every idea contributes to a sustainable tomorrow. Every idea,
every solution, is a stride toward a greener, smarter, and more sustainable future. Together, we code, create, and evolve continuously —
for the planet, for its people, and for the generations yet to come.
