Delegates delve into the world of program solving and design with us, where you’ll need as much dedication as Margaret Hamilton and the creativity of Dennis Ritchie.

Due to its rapid growth, the field of computer science has truly become an integral part of everything we do, making it necessary for there to be an understanding of emerging technologies. Delegates be will required to demonstrate a profound understanding of basic computer science concepts and their resourcefulness to succeed through a rapid-fire quiz, online scavenger hunt, complex problems with the use of different software and an additional video and photo editing round.

AstraZeneca

This category is exclusively for delegates whose favourite nights are those with clear skies, spent mapping out every constellation they can remember while attempting to internalize the vast mysteries of the Universe, from the largest of galactic filaments to the smallest of subatomic particles. We invite them to join us as we explore the cosmos, look into the intricacies of nature beyond our pale blue dot featuring a game of Pictionary infused with trivia, followed by a buzzer round and hypothetical game of galactic survivor. This category will not only test you on your knowledge regarding astronomy and astrophysics but on how you apply that knowledge to find solutions to complex real-world problems.

The Last Sin

A category crafted especially for minds with the most refined deduction skills and a piercing eye for detail, our crime category brings to delegates a holistic opportunity to exercise their investigative and interrogatory skills through the course of a scrupulously designed crime mystery, where they will be confronted with formidable ciphers and mounds of evidence which they must unravel with excruciating agility to solve the case and finally, present their conclusions in a formal report.

Malpighi's Manifestation

Every living body encompasses a plethora of systems – little processes that might

seem insignificant at first glance, but the slightest change in which can throw the body into a state of disarray. This is what makes the ‘science of life’ so significant - the need for humans to know every aspect of their bodies and about how external environment plays a role in affecting it. Delegates must Prepare for a rigorous experience, as you will be put in the shoes of biologists and medical experts. From methodical DNA extraction, intensive quizzes and critical analysis of medical scenarios, delegates will be pushed to think on their feet.
