01 About
A place where different minds collide.
Not just a competition.
RSIC is the first science and innovation competition The City School Ravi Campus has run, and it takes place from Friday 13 to Sunday 15 November 2026. We have opened it to schools across the city, because a first event should be more than one school talking to itself.
It covers the sciences you would expect and several you might not. Biology, chemistry and physics sit alongside psychology, environmental business and film. Good thinking does not stay inside one subject, so we built nine realms that let students work wherever theirs actually lives.
Most of it happens away from a desk. Delegates build things and test them, argue cases, run experiments, and defend what they made in front of judges who know the field. Over three days they work beside students from schools they have never met, which is most of the point.
Think. Test. Create. Repeat.
The invitation
You’re invited.
Twenty-six pages from the organisers, with every category, the registration policy, the fees, the code of conduct and who to call.
The idea
Why it exists.
Most competitions ask you to be good at one thing. RSIC asks what happens when nine ways of thinking are pointed at the same weekend, under the same pressure.
Different disciplines, same floor.
A mathematician and a drama student end up in adjacent rooms, not separate events. That proximity is the point.
Judged like it matters.
Every realm has its own standard of evidence. A proof, a working prototype, a case, a performance. Held to a real bar.
The unscheduled kind.
Some of what happens at RSIC isn't in the programme. That's intentional. Curiosity doesn't run on a timetable.
Ideas that go somewhere.
Work made under pressure, in front of judges, with a result attached. The stakes are real ones.
The line-up
Nine disciplines.
Each realm is its own world, with its own rules. None of them are decoration for the others. Every one is judged on its own terms, by people who take that discipline seriously.
