Description
Team Formation:
Participants are divided into teams.
Team members collaborate throughout the
event to brainstorm and speculate on the
scenarios.
They get their names/houses by sorting hat

Scenario Presentation:
The event organisers present a series of
"What If" scenarios. These scenarios can be in
the form of video clips, written questions, or
multimedia presentations.
Each scenario is carefully designed to be
intriguing and cover a wide range of topics,
from outer space science to pop science and
speculative future events.

Scenario Exploration:
Teams are given a specific amount of time (e.g.,
3-5 minutes) to delve into each scenario.
They discuss and analyze the scenario,
considering various aspects, potential
consequences, and scientific principles that
come into play.

Presentation Phase:
After the allotted exploration time, teams
present their findings and speculations on the
scenario they were given.
Presentations can be in the form of brief
talks, creative presentations, or discussions.

Discussion and Feedback:

After each presentation, there's a brief
discussion where other teams and participants
can ask questions, provide feedback, or offer
alternative speculations. (Bonus Marks)

Scenario Rotation:
The process repeats for several scenarios,
allowing teams to explore a diverse range of
speculative situations.
