UditVani, Jamshedpur: Quantum 2025 — the flagship inter-school science and innovation fest hosted by the vibrant Plus One and Plus Two students of Little Flower School — began with an electrifying showcase of intellect, innovation, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
What began years ago as a modest science fair has now matured into one of the region’s most prestigious academic conclaves, where the spirit of curiosity meets the brilliance of youth.
This year’s edition, themed as a “Renaissance of Innovation and Intellect,” was held under the visionary leadership of Principal Sister Hilda D’Souza and the dedicated guidance of Convener Ashish Kapoor.

With 681 participants across 17 events, students from leading schools across the region converged at Little Flower School to compete, connect, and create.
The fest not only tested academic prowess and creative capabilities but also nurtured career aspirations and inspired sustainable thinking among the leaders of tomorrow.
