ALCHEMY also focuses on the implementation of Waste Management and Rural Engineering principles. Contriv-ware , the open hardware and software competition , is going to be a perfect platform for the innovators to display their talent. Not only this ,the gaming instinct of each of us is bound to get a boost with ‘ Back To Bedlam’ presenting all time favourites including Counter Strike, NFS Most Wanted ,FIFA, Age Of Empires and Warcraft. Even a pre NIMBUS event of ‘Junior Einstein’ a model making cum exhibition competition, made everybody witness a first time interaction between the institute and school students.
The other highlights of the technical extravaganza include exhibitions by Intel and by Dr Iqbal Ahmad on miniature engineering along with the demonstrations of Infinity Mirrors , the water screen and the awe striking and ever glistening LED cube . Apart from this ‘Wall Graffiti’ and the very unique concept of ‘ Sand Animation’ along with laser and bubble shows are actually going to be very interesting to witness. The presentation on fireflies and ‘Robotica’ encompassing robo design and robowars are all going to feed the curiousity of the minds having that a technical bent. Even the adventure sports and ‘ Battle of Bands ‘ are going to rock the stage!
With numerous efforts being put in, we all hope that NIMBUS 2011 proves to be grand success!
