October 9, 2025 /CSRwire/ - Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a global leader in IT services, consulting, and business solutions, invites students in the US and Canada aged 6-17 to enter the TCS goIT Monthly Challenge for October. This month, students are asked to contribute ideas for innovations capable of advancing human health and opportunity by addressing UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to human and environmental health and wellbeing. 

Health and wellbeing enable individuals to perform at their best and are essential for achieving personal and professional success. Since the environment can have such a strong impact on wellness, focusing on clean air, water and green spaces can improve health and happiness as much as reducing stress or improving physical fitness.

With the goIT Monthly Challenge for October, TCS asks students to consider SDG 3: Good Health and Wellbeing, and other SDGs that could advance human or environmental health.

Challenge Prompt: Create a tech-based solution that can help improve health and quality of life for individuals and communities by:

• Fostering physical and mental health
• Caring for the environment
• Promoting inclusive environments where everyone feels supported and valued

To participate, students follow tips found on the goIT Challenge website and use design thinking skills to create and pitch a digital innovation concept, such as a mobile app or a website, which could help advance these goals in their local communities or across the globe. Students are not required to create a functioning innovation but should demonstrate research and knowledge necessary to move the concept from idea to reality.

Participants can present ideas for tech-based solutions that improve health and wellbeing for people or the planet. They can also propose solutions to solve other related problems or propose new ways to ensure access to healthcare and health information. The possibilities are only limited by their imaginations.

How to enter:

1. Adults: Visit https://on.tcs.com/goIT-ENG with a student aged 6-17 to learn about the goIT Monthly Challenge, register, and submit entries.
2. Scroll down to get inspired by watching videos related to SDG 16 and considering others, such as SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities, SDG 11: ​Sustainable Cities and Communities, and SDG 13: Climate Action.
3. Download the judging rubric and presentation template for extra guidance
4. Start researching and inventing!

Pitches submitted by October 31, 2025, will be judged by a volunteer panel of TCS employees, customers and partners. 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 be included in resumes and college applications.

* Students must register with a parent, teacher, or guardian.
