Events of Ideate E-week on 9th Feb ’11
Location: J1 BLOCK, AMITY SCHOOL OF BUSINESS, NOIDA
On 9th February, 2011, all the E-Cell event coordinators for the day arrived at the J1 block to start fresh at around 9 a.m. The registration desk was all set to enroll people for events of the day like ‘RESOURCE HUNT’, ‘KLICKSTART’ & ‘PROTOTYPING’ which magnetized huge mob of students.
The first event started at around 10a.m. called the ‘RESOURCE HUNT’. In the event, the teams were supposed to get entrepreneurial clues and puzzles to solve and advance to the next level. The registration desk was surrounded by excited students all around with a glint of desperation and confidence in their eyes to take part in the event. The students were still trying to get themselves registered even after the hunt started. The expected number for the event was just 10, but it came as a surprise for the organizing committee when the number reached to a breathtaking 41. It proved to be a great success and one could witness students running around in the block trying to fulfill the tasks before everyone else, asking for help from fellow students or faculty representatives. It went on until 2 pm when finally all the teams happily finished the event and were delighted to have been a part of such a rush.
At 12 pm, there was an entrepreneurial talk given by Mr. Shadab Mobin, the Delhi region consultant of National Entrepreneurship Network (NEN), wherein everyone had gathered to discuss and interact on various aspects of ‘how to become an entrepreneur’.
The second event was ‘KLICKSTART’ – a virtual entrepreneurial journey. This entrepreneurial simulation game was designed to test the entrepreneurship skills and talent of people. There were 36 teams who participated for the event and made it more intense as a competition. The event went on for a long time in parallel with the RESOURCE HUNT.
The third event called ‘PROTOTYPING’ was to ensure operational effectiveness at work. The teams were supposed to prepare welcome drinks of any type, taste and flavor. The students came up with great recipes of mocktails, smoothies, shakes and other drinks which were original in their combination of ingredients and presentation. The students were judged upon their presentation of the drinks and viability of the drink in today’s market scenario. The panel of judges was impressed with the way people participated with full vigor and great zeal.
At 3:30 pm, a street play or NUKKAD NATAK was organized and performed by students from AMITY SCHOOL OF BUSINESS. The theme of the plays so performed was ‘knowledge up-gradation for rural people at construction sites’. All the labour force was brought to a common platform with different students and faculty from AMITY SCHOOL OF BUSINESS. They were motivated and encouraged to use hygienic places to cook and preserve food in a healthier way & went off happily having seen the students perform for them.
On the whole, the day was a great success and was well coordinated and well administered.
