With the theme “Create the Future,” over 64,000 young creators from across the country turned empty Indomie cartons, wrappers , seasoning wrappers or all into innovative works of art. Every participant at the final stage went home with a carton of Indomie, full from plates of garnished Indomie noodles , and thrilled after student–teacher dance-offs and fun activities.
The entries were nothing short of amazing, from a life-sized robot named Indobot, to a tractor, solar-powered chalet huts, a mosaic painting, a flower bouquet made from wrappers, a ship built with intricate carton cuts, and many more.
The spotlight shone brightest on Feyisitan Ewaoluwa from Living Faith School, Lagos, who won the grand prize with her Indobot, saying she built it “so it can cook tasty Indomie faster and better.
