EVENT DESCRIPTION:  This engaging event brings together teams of three students 
from different disciplines to brainstorm creative solutions to real-world challenges. After 
selecting their problem statements, each team will not only pitch their innovative ideas 
but also create a visually striking poster to showcase their concept. A fun twist comes 
with the bottle-flipping challenge, offering teams a chance to earn additional rewards. On 
top of that, teams will participate in a quiz, solving crossword puzzles at intervals 
throughout the event. Scoring is comprehensive, factoring in idea pitches, poster design, 
and quiz performance, with bonuses like design help and priority presentation slots for 
standout teams. 
EVENT SUMMARY: 
In the event summary, teams of three students from different disciplines come together 
to take on problem statements and generate creative, innovative solutions. After 
selecting their challenge, each team develops a product or idea and presents it to the 
judges. To enhance their pitch, they also design a poster that visually communicates 
their concept, ensuring their idea is clearly understood and impactful. 
Adding a fun twist, teams participate in a bottle-flipping challenge, where successfully 
flipping the bottle and solving questions will earn them advantages. This can give them 
an edge by offering additional points or perks that can improve their standing.

Simultaneously, teams are also involved in a quiz that tests their general knowledge 
and problem-solving skills through crossword puzzles. The quiz questions are 
introduced at regular intervals, making it a continuous challenge throughout the event. 
The combination of idea pitching, poster design, and quiz participation makes the event 
competitive yet engaging. 
Scoring is a key aspect, with final tallies based on how well teams perform across all 
activities. Teams that excel in pitching, poster design, and quizzes are rewarded with 
bonuses, such as assistance from design experts to improve their projects and prime 
presentation slots for their ideas. The event is structured to reward creativity, teamwork, 
and quick thinking.
