The Categories
5. Mystery of Pipal Avenue (Crime and Forensics):
Forensic Science is one of the most thrilling and nerve-wracking branches of
science. ACSEC's signature crime event will require delegates’ application of deductive
and critical reasoning backed up with lab chemistry. Be it interrogating the most
tenacious criminals, cracking ciphers, connecting the dots to one focal point or analyzing
each aspect of the dilemma at hand while also facing the twists and turns thrown at
them, delegates will undoubtedly experience and enthralling ride as they try to bring the
criminal to justice.
6. Asimo's Ascension (Robotics):
In line with the ever-growing passion of ‘Mechatronics’ in high school students, this
category will test delegates’ knowledge of technology, programming and electrical
circuitry. More than theoretical tests, Asimo’s Ascension will rigorously test delegates’
design ingenuity as they acquire essential laboratory skills such as drilling, soldering, and
circuit-building. An introductory lecture will also be held on the first day to teach the
basics of robotics assembly, Arduino programming and controlling, with the aim of
encouraging beginners to participate. A highlight of this category will be the showdown
of the teams in an arena specially built for the delegates’ robots. This arena will be an
uplifted platform placed in front of the Barry Block rotunda and will attract a large
number of delegates, effectively putting up a robotics exhibition.
7. R.A.C.E. (Fandom):
R.A.C.E is the only event at ACSEC which takes a break from the field of STEM and
provides delegates with a platform to put to use, the hours they have spent watching
their favourite TV Shows and reading their favourite comics. This event would feature a
plethora of quizzes as delegates are compelled to compete in the field they love.
8. Wolf of Tech Street (Entrepreneurship):
While theoretical science may be engrossing, practicality takes preference in the real
world. In line with this belief, Wolf of Tech Street will set a platform for the young
thinkers and innovators of the future. The category will not only require delegates to
explain the science behind their products but also package them in a way that can be
profitable and appealing to investors and will inculcate business skills that last a lifetime.
