SUSTAINOVATION

Innovation is the mother of necessity, but the

question remains is it affordable? Can the

innovator in you develop daily use products

for low-income groups and if you can will

your inner entrepreneur be able to produce,

market, and distribute your products in cost-

effective ways? Try to answer these

questions by joining the challenge of this

Shark Tank spin-off event.

Group event of 3 people.

The business proposals will have to be

submitted by 23rd June.

NOVICE NARRATORS

Once upon a time, there were trees…

Storytelling is the art of narrative

communication. In this event your storytelling

skills will be put to test by the challenge of

narrating children’s story, but with the catch

of incorporating climate change crisis. How

would our most memorable children’s story

turn out? Can the Raconteur, the

Environmentalist, and the Scientist in you

resist coming and taking children’s story for a

spin?

A CURIOUS INQUIRY
Frequent conversations like “oh did you read

about that movement?” or “so that happened”

are important to create awareness and to

understand different perceptions of the

problem or issue but more than often they do

not result in any productive conclusion. This

event is more than a mere discussion of global

problems that humanity faces, it is a challenge

to the minds of future generations to come and

think of solutions to avoid similar conflicts and

problems in the future.

Groups of 3 individuals .

The problems will be given on the spot.

Use of the Internet, books, and other such

materials is permitted.

I FELT VALUED

This is not a competition. During this time of

isolation and negativity, we wish to bring

out positive and heartwarming stories from

people about the good things that have

happened to them because of their

surrounding community; community is a

broad term and we intend on keeping it

that way by including the internet

communities as well. Our objective is to

bring a little happiness to the world by

lending our ears and our platform for such

stories to be shared.

JAM
We can all talk about the books that we read,

the movies that we watch and the content that

we consume for hours at a stretch. But can we

talk about them through the lens of Economics,

Psychology or any other discipline? Creators not

only manage to show us stories in an eloquent

manner but in sub-text, also address many other

facets of the society that we are living in. This

event challenges you to talk about those very

facets that we often miss while fangirling or

fanboying about our favorite works.

The participants will be given the topic on

the spot.

10 minutes of preparation time will be given

to each participant.

The participant will have to speak for exactly

a minute.

WHAT IF THEY MEET...?

Have you ever wondered what would happen

if your one favorite character met your other

favorite character? Would Iron Man and

Batman compare their wealth or will they

share each other's styles? Will Wonder Woman

and Thor play catch with Mjolnir while

discussing crazy siblings? And what would

Rachel Greene and Penny talk about? Well,

you can answer these questions. You can

argue, fan-girl or even solve mysteries as a

fictional character in conversation with

another fictional character from a different

universe. LET THE CROSSOVERS BEGIN!!

*Cue maniac laughter*

Characters will be given on the spot

Participation will be by individuals.

DEBATE NERDS

There are always two sides to a problem,

two faces of a coin. But here, there is a

twist. You will have to speak from the both

sides, the one for and the one against. It is a

debate competition in which the

participants will be asked to switch sides

and proceed with the debate. This will

encourage critical thinking of the people

and gauging how quickly can you think. It is

a challenge on how well can you present

logical arguments from both perspectives.

The medium of debate has to be English.

PHOTOMONTAGE
Everyone loves a scenic photograph whether it’s by

the golden beach or in the majestic mountains. But

what if we tell you that one doesn’t necessarily

need that beauty to be conveyed only through such

attractive photographs? One can use beautifully

narrated stories accompanied by photographs in

order to present the story of your life. However,

there is a catch! The photographs should depict

changes that have been brought about due to the

COVID-19 pandemic. So, what are you waiting for?

Pick up your cameras and give us your best shots

from home.

Photographs of other people or anything related to

one’s body will not be permitted.

Photographs from any device will be acceptable.

A maximum of 6 photographs will be allowed.

STAGE SLAYERS

Problems are a part of life and all of us will

continue to fight them especially when

problem is a global pandemic. Let’s fight

covid-19 keeping a sense of humor. This

event is aimed at teaching us to manage

the issues in a much lighter and positive

way. Pandemic made a joke of our youth

it’s time we return the favor.

THE ULTIMATE RAP BATTLE

Rap hoga aaj teri gali main, but the topics

will not be the ones you are used to

though! This rap competition will have a

twist- the muse of these artists will be

subjects of Economics, Psychology, and

English. The topics will be based on

concepts from these subjects. It’s time to

fuse rap with studies!

Participants will be given the topic on the

day of the event.
