2. Case Study: The most detrimental factor which has driven innovation throughout the centuries is one very simple thing, Questioning the problems of today. From the most basic of inventions like the wheel to the most magnificent achievements like space shuttles, all these innovations had one thing in common, that being the grit to solve the problems present. Even in times like today when technology hs covered every aspect of existence we need to often ask ourselves the questions which matter and more importantly answer them to make the next breakthrough. This Case study competition asks the most crucial questions of the industry which are answered by the brightest and youngest of minds and by the most cutting-edge technology known to mankind. A case study is a research method involving an up-close, in-depth, and detailed examination of a subject of study (the case), as well as its related contextual conditions. This competition aims at bringing out the most innovative, wholesome and well-analyzed solutions to the leading problems in the technology and growing sector.
