Each team was asked to select a name for their team, create a team slogan and appoint a team leader. These teams participated in the Egg Drop challenge to build a container for protecting eggs from breaking while dropping. Eight out of twelve teams successfully achieved their tasks. Further, Paint Relay Race was performed in which each team created a unique painting based on the given theme. The first day ended with the cultural performances which students enjoyed wholeheartedly.
