August 6, 2025 /CSRwire/ - Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is reinforcing its commitment to sustainability and empowerment by inviting North American students aged 6-17 to contribute their ideas for advancing three UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). With the goIT Monthly Challenge for August, TCS asks students to consider SDG 4: Quality Education, SDG 5: Gender Equality and SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth.

Participants will use design thinking to create and pitch a digital innovation concept, like a mobile app or a website, which can help advance these goals in either their local communities or across the globe. They don’t have to create a functioning innovation, just demonstrate their research, knowledge and intentions should they ever be able to move it from idea to reality.

Participants can present ideas for tech-based solutions that help ensure learning is more equitable, or which expand access to mentoring, STEM tutoring and job training. They could also solve the problems from a host of other angles. The possibilities are only limited by their imaginations.

How to enter:

1. Visit https://on.tcs.com/goIT-ENG to learn about the goIT Monthly Challenge
2. Scroll to get inspired and watch videos related to the topics of SDG 4, SDG 5 and SDG 8
   • Tip: While you’re there, download the judging rubric and presentation template for extra guidance
3. Register with a parent, teacher or guardian and start researching and inventing!

Pitches submitted by August 31, 2025, will be judged by a volunteer panel made up of TCS employees and sometimes members of their customer and partner networks. Monthly winners have an automatic head start on their entry in the annual goIT Global Innovator of the Year competition and the chance to earn mentoring and recognition that can inform their resumes and college applications.
