Day One Focused on Student-Centric Learning

The first day of the event was dedicated entirely to interactive and student-driven academic activities. A Linear Algebra–based Treasure Hunt challenged participants to apply mathematical concepts in a fun and collaborative manner. A Rangoli Competition based on the theme “Ramanujan: Inspiration for Young Mathematicians” blended creativity with mathematical thought, paying tribute to one of India’s greatest mathematical minds.

Students also participated in a Debate Competition on “Why Engineering Mathematics is Important”, where they articulated the role of mathematics in analytical thinking and professional growth. Another highlight of the day was the Mathematical Model Presentation under the Young Mathematician Award, titled “Unfolding the Wonders of Mathematics”. These activities received enthusiastic participation and promoted conceptual clarity, teamwork, and confidence among students.

Day Two Highlighted Knowledge, Inspiration, and Innovation
