Science Contest is one of the most popular and intellectually challenging competitions of the
country and attracts students of numerous colleges and universities from all over the
country. This competition is based on three rounds and requires understanding of basic
principles of physics, chemistry, mathematics and other general sciences. The Science
Exhibition encourages students from all over Pakistan to research and apply their findings
to practice for useful and valuable purposes. It is the perfect opportunity for the students
to exhibit their innovative projects and challenge other competitors.
Each institute can be represented by a number of teams, where a team comprise of
a maximum of five members, three for the science contest and two for the exhibition

EVENT DETAILS
GIKI Science Society brings to you its widely acknowledged event with many new modules,
aimed at bringing out the potential creativity in you. This time, there is more to learn, enjoy
and experience.
Note: A team may participate in Science Contest as well as Science Exhibition, but no
member can take part in both categories.

1. SCIENCE CONTEST
Science Kasoty (compulsory for every participant of Science Contest)
Ever feel like testing your scientific knowledge? Science Kasoty is designed to assess your
scientific knowledge. It will require you to go through two rounds.

Kasoty I: Teams are required to guess the personality and invention while being provided
the hints needed. Three obvious and 3 non-obvious hints are given. The more hints a team
demands, the less marks it gets for a successful guess. Moreover, it also incorporates Dumb
Charades, in which a member is required to communicate to other team members the
name of an invention or scientific phenomenon without using the vocal ability.

Kasoty II: Based on the aggregate scores of the Kasoty I teams will qualify for Kasoty II,
which is further subdivided into the following rounds:
Category Round: Participants will have to choose from different categories, which
span most elementary sciences, to choose from. Possible categories are chemistry,
electricity and magnetism, mechanics, modern physics, optics, waves, computer
science and multimedia. The questions will test the participants ability to use
scientific logic and concepts quickly and efficiently. Participants will be required to
choose any five of the afore-mentioned categories.
b) Speed Round: Each team will have to answer as many questions as possible within
the stipulated time of one minute.
a)

Note: Some sample problems have been included in the invitation package.

Eureka
All great scientific minds shared a fondness for experimental science. The module is aimed
at challenging your inventive skills. Participants are expected to perform an experiment
using only the given apparatus. The efficient use of this equipment to come up with
innovative solutions to the experimental problems would result in high scores.
We advise you to study the fundamental theory behind your course projects.

Pop It (compulsory for every participant of Science Contest)

Did you ever design a Rube Goldberg Machine? You finally get a chance to make one. Design
a machine which bursts a balloon placed on a specific height (Range 1 to 3 feet). Height will
be altered in Level II. Therefore, the machine should be adaptable to strike the balloon at
the new height.
Participants are required to design the machine before their arrival at the event, however it
should be brought in completely disassembled form. The machine will have to b e
assembled on event. Moreover, the contraption should perform the task in ten distinct steps
and the total cost should not exceed rupees 500.

Span the Bridge

Bridges incorporate complex structural engineering which never fails to inspire the observer.
The objective here is to construct a bridge using only the material that has been provided to
them by the organizing team .The bridge should be able to stand on its own between two
supports. In level II, the bridge will have to be extended to a third support. The structures
must be able to support certain loads. Participants will be given two hours for the
completion of bridge as well the report.

Sweep the Distance

A two hour fun module in which a simple catapult would be built from a list of given
materials. Judging would be based on the range of catapult and a fair amount of accuracy.

Forensics
Test your logical reasoning and crime solving abilities by participating in Forensic at the 15th
Science Fair. Step into the mystery that will take you to the dark corners of the ground to
collect evidences and to your imaginary lab to judge their reliability! In forensic, we plan to
give you a crime mystery that you have to solve based on the evidences you can collect. So
everyone, it is time to dust your thinking caps!

Champions Round
Teams selected on the basis of aggregate scores of afore-cited modules will compete for
victory in the Science Contest, which will require the team members to answer relatively
advanced questions related to science.

2. SCIENCE EXHIBITION
Go beyond your science books to indulge in the practicality of scientific theories. Science
Exhibition is the perfect opportunity for you to exhibit your innovative projects and
challenge other competitors, so tickle those neurons and wait for judgment, for we are waiting,
for you. It has been divided into two categories:

College Level
University Level

Each category will have its own winner and prize money.

3. SOCIAL EVENTS
Concert
Feel your fatigue drift away as you dance to the resonating beat cascading in your brain.
Step out from the complex world of particles and differentials; kick back and relish the
Concert with a plethora of performances both soothing and raging. With electrifying musical
performances by the most renowned bands on this social night, the perfect gateway to
simultaneously recreate and unwind with periodic resounding cadence.

Science Marathon
The revamped Science Marathon strikes with a story line, which may be based on
historical facts and figures. Alternatively, it may leap into the mysterious world of future.
Each clue will guide you to the next destination and unlock the riddle to demystify the final
puzzle. While exploring the scenic views of GIKI, you will end up having experience you
wont be forgetting any time soon.
