JAIN ACADEMIC BOWL
TEAMS
Our mission at YJA Conventions has always been to educate Jain youth about their heritage and the rich values of the Jain tradition. #YJA16 will host the second ever Jain Academic Bowl (JAB) at YJA, a team-based competition for young Jains. Topics range from Jain scriptures, prayers, and philosophy to Jain geography, history, and Jainism in the modern world. This YJA Convention, we will be changing the format of the traditional JAB game by breaking up the game into three new rounds, each of which will encourage teamwork and collaboration. We hope that the new style will be fun, exciting, and informative for everyone involved! A special thanks to: Pravin Shah for his mentorship throughout the year and for providing buzzer systems; Anish Doshi, Anjali Doshi, Foram Shah, Salil Ojha, and Siddharth Shah for their hard work as the JAB Administrative Team

JAINS IN ACTION (JIA)
Jains in Action (JIA) is taking YJA beyond just the convention. JIA provides a platform for today's Agents of Change to use Jain values, personal knowledge, and past experiences to solve some of today's most pressing issues. Similar to a social hackathon, JIA participants will present their issue and solution; this solution can take the form of a product, business, organization, or movement that inspires others to act. During convention, the teams will be able to collaborate with their teammates during the JIA sessions to create, organize, and finalize their actionable solution. The top three teams will then present to a panel of judges in front of the entire convention audience.
Finally, the winning team will be given a grant (upwards of $1000) to carry out the proposed solution in the real world, working with an investor to take their project to the next level! A special thanks to: The judges for their mentorship and advice to the JIA participants
