For its third edition, the ACC National Science Festival became a four-day event with 20 segments, the widest range in NASC’s history, built on the idea that science connects to every part of life.
Alongside the olympiads, project display, quiz, Rubik’s Cube, and creative writing segments, the festival introduced a Robotics Olympiad for seniors and an Eco-Friendly project category. It also added a static website display competition, multimedia presentations, and a programming contest with an online preliminary and a two-hour onsite final in C and C++. A full environmental track ran alongside the main events, with Nature Study, Eco Vocabulary, a Confab Seminar on environmental issues, a Green Exhibition of terrariums and aquariums, and an Eco-Friendly Business Ideas competition.
NASC published NEUTRINO’17, the second issue of its annual science publication, as the festival souvenir.
