Participants were put through their paces in reverse engineering workshops in which they had to disassemble sophisticated gadgets in order to learn more about their inner workings.
Participants in seminars on fundamental physics were taken on an investigative trip into the rules that control our universe. Attendees were exposed to mind-boggling ideas that broadened their understanding of science, from the glories of quantum physics to the secrets of relativity.
The HVAC methods, with an emphasis on energy-efficient solutions and the significance of indoor air quality, were covered in depth during the ventilation and air conditioning workshop. The skills and insights participants gained may be used to improve the quality of people’s everyday lives, both at home and in the workplace.
Sessions on app creation introduced attendees to the exciting world of mobile applications, where they could practise their coding abilities and construct their own unique and useful apps. Attendees uncovered the potential of their ideas in the digital realm by learning the principles of app development from inception to implementation.
Techvaganza was more than simply a series of seminars and contests; it was also a celebration of Kashmir’s many cultural traditions.
