>> New Events this time @ Pragyan!

// January 15th, 2009 // Pragyan // Arvind Jayashankar

As we draw closer to this year’s Pragyan, I thought I’d give you all a small outline of the new events we have in store.

Delta T:

Probably the coolest event in Pragyan this time! Here’s the problem. You are given water at room temperature. All you have to do is cool it to the lowest temperature in the least possible time. Sounds simple enough. But wait, there’s a catch… No electrically dependent cooling techniques. That means no fridges or freezers. Intriguing? In ΔT, you are invited to add a whole new dimension to the ancient art of cooling water. Come up with ideas as you try to gain a delta over your opponents in this chilled out event!

MorphoSEZ:

In the words of the noted American economist Ted Levit -

“Just as energy is the basis of life itself, and ideas the source of innovation, so is innovation the vital spark of all human change, improvement and progress”.

MorphoSEZ wants to provide you a platform to do just that, imagine and engineer. You have to design and build a scale model of a self sufficient Special Economic Zone complete with civic amenities and provision for efficient service systems.Let your thoughts flow, let the genius in you be known, let the undying human prowess to create, cast a halo all around.This event requires basics of town planning, landscaping, etc. If you have it in you to plan a township, or Special economic zone, for that matter, even the basics of town planning is enough, so the opportunity is knocking at your doorstep.

Concept Car Challenge (C3):

Ever had the idea of a dream car? Always wanted to make something cool and look like a product of science fiction?? Ever wanted to package a car with unimaginable features from radars to electric shavers?? Envied the batmobile and the TurboCat?? There’s much more crazy stuff you can do. Check out the earlier posts in the blog as well to see some crazy ideas in action.

This is where your craving meets opportunity. Invoke randomness upon thee and let your designing skill loose and come up with a super car that can rule the roads of the future.
