After refreshments, participants joined an interactive session, which allowed students to engage, share ideas, and participate in team-building activities. The second half of the program included a session by Guest Speaker 3, followed by the screening of the IEEE Xtreme Ignite video, highlighting the achievements of the student branch. The day’s celebrations continued with certificate distribution for competition winners, sponsor recognition, and volunteer appreciation, acknowledging everyone who contributed to the success of the event.
