People who have visited any of the Seven Wonders of the World look at them and wonder (By the way, that’s not why they’re called wonders) ”Why couldn’t I have built something like that?”. Now you can. Experts in the field of constructions and erections share their ideas with the participants followed by a workshop which gives the participants a little taste of what they’re in for. Next, it’s the turn of the participants as team go head-to-head and try to outdo each other and raise structures which makes them worthy of being called “the champions of Akriti”. Remember participants, all you have to do is build to win.
