Talk about sustainable technology
The next task assigned to the groups was to present an idea about sustainable technologies and to express their own views on using safer and cleaner technologies to make the world a better place. Groups were given amble time to research about their topic.
Then a representative from each group was called upon to speak few words about that technology and what they find in that technology that meets the sustainable standards.
Poster Designing
A contest was held on poster designing, in which all groups were asked to choose a topic on developing technology according to their interests. Participants were given necessary materials and mentoring to compete in the contest.
Sci-Fi film fest
In the afternoon section, the film Transcendence was showcased. This movie depicts the story of a man's consciousness getting trapped inside the internet as an AI. Soon the AI turns bad and starts building its own kingdom and hybrid humans. The clash between the human beings and AI is explained with complete detail. This movie also warns the present society about the harm AI can cause if it is not controlled. The response from the participants about the movie was better than thought. They really enjoyed the flick.
