This year marks 15 years of RobinAge and one of the highlights of our journey has been getting to know our young readers, what they think about the world around them and the many incredible ways in which they are working to build a better, brighter future.
Over the past 15 years, through our pages, we’ve showcased many such young readers and their incredible achievements. We see children excelling in various fields—some shine in academics, some excel in the arts and literature, and still others display courage in the face of danger or adversity. Then there are those who work to improve society, bringing about positive change through innovation, championing noble causes or launching initiatives to protect the environment and uplift those in need.
We call these children Bright Sparks.

What Makes a Bright Spark?
According to us, no one thing makes a child a Bright Spark. Here are some areas in which a Bright Spark might excel.
- Literature and the Arts: This includes children who possess exceptional command over the written word or those who excel at visual or performing arts—writers, poets, dancers, actors, singers, visual artists, digital artists, the list goes on.
- Community Service: This includes children who have made a positive impact on their community through efforts such as volunteering at an NGO, organising charity drives or participating in community projects to address social issues.
- Innovation in Technology: This includes young tech enthusiasts who have developed innovative solutions to everyday problems through inventions or apps that simplify our lives or address social issues.
- Environmental Action: This includes children who have dedicated their time to protecting and bettering the environment—those who have organised tree-planting campaigns, raised awareness about climate change or initiated projects to reduce, reuse and recycle waste and promote sustainability.
- Courage and Resilience: This includes brave-hearts who have shown remarkable courage in challenging situations—those who have overcome personal obstacles or adversity, inspired others with their strength or gone out of their way to help others.
- Entrepreneurship: This includes young innovators who have launched a business.
- Academic Excellence: This category is for young scholars who have excelled in academic pursuits. Here we are interested in the journey to achieving academic excellence, the lessons learnt and the challenges overcome, rather than the academic achievement itself.
- Sports and Athletics: This includes children who have excelled in sports and athletics including traditional sports, martial arts, individual sports or team sports.
