MIMANSA 2013

St. Marys School Safderjung Enclave holds an inter- school computer festival every year. This year approximately 100 students participated from various schools, for example DPS RK Puram, Mothers International and Ramjas School RK Puram and our School on 7 and 8 August, 2013.

The chief guest at the festival was Professor Subodh Kumar from IIT, Delhi. He spoke about the applications of computer science in the various aspects of our lives. He showed a presentation whereby students could develop a 3D model, of say, a temple's pillar by taking photographs of the pillars from various angles and then bringing them together to 'construct', as it were, the model.

From amongst these, participants had to research and then articulate the same before the judges. The audience and judges were free to then ask the presenter questions! Redemption Students had to play various rounds of computer games. Our students had a great time matching minds, with their counterparts from other schools. Siddhanta Sen and Shiva Aswani took the second prize in Tekk- Talk.
