workshop will be conducted where things are started from the scratch. All aspects of glider making will be
dealt in great detail.
COMPETITION:
After being given sufficient time and material to let your imagination loose, the final competition begins.
Gliders made by the participants will be tested for their ENDURANCE (time of flight) and RANGE. Innovations
in the design of the glider won't go unnoticed. So come down, enjoy yourself and bag some cool prizes.
1.Maximum of 3 members per team. Students from different colleges can combine to form a team.
2.Students of all branches from all academic institutions are eligible to participate.
