Kids here got to see two of the most exciting competitions live and the response was tremendous. We also set a new world record, organised tons of workshops, put on display a stupendous piece of light and sound show, and had loads of fun. This is Avishkaar – where the participants, their parents, the general audience along with the Avishkaar Team all came together to make this event a huge success. We hope that we managed to inspire a few more kids to give a shot to STEAM education and become future tech enthusiasts.”
A lot went down at #CelebrateAvishkaar as participants and general audiences alike participated in various workshops at Avishkaar Maker Space. From aeromodelling to 3D Printing, kids made a beeline for all the fun activities being run at the zone. The big hit was Mountain Rush (wherein a cycle connected with LED lights was used to race) which drew a huge crowd as kids pedalled their way to glory. Apart from this, there were workshops on AR/VR, electronics and coding, string art, coffee painting, robotics, light it up and more.
But the main highlights of the event for the crowd were the World Record Attempt where the world’s largest logo connected with LED rope lights was created. The kids took to the task enthusiastically and the final result was a sight to behold as a new world record was created. Another major highlight of #CelebrateAvishkaar was ‘Avishkaar Aurora’, this huge dazzling, light show put up by the enterprising Avishkaar team. The crowd sitting in the indoor stadium was enthralled and swaying to the sound and light show.
