The Psychology event Incriminate was a detective themed test to solve a murder mystery. The Robotics event Machine Impossible was a challenge to build the best robot. The Gaming event Quixcope sought to find the best gaming team amongst the participants. The Cryptography event Project Insight, Literary event Ansible and Quiz event Wildfire were huge success as well. All events began at 9:30 am and ended at 2:30 pm.

The Valedictory Ceremony was the programme everyone had been waiting for. The students of class 11 presented a dance that captivated the audience. There was also a display of the video covering the Scientifica trailer and the day’s events by the Photography Team. In the end, National Public School, HSR Layout emerged as the winners.
