Event Description:

The STEM Club at NHCE organized an engaging event called “E-Wasted” for the students of NHCE on 7th and 8th of November 2024, focusing on electronic waste management. The event aimed to inspire creativity and teamwork through three exciting rounds: Ideathon, Trash Hunt, and Trash to Treasure Exhibition.

The first round, Ideathon, kicked off on 7th November, where teams were given topics related to e-waste management. Participants brainstormed innovative solutions and presented their ideas in short, creative presentations. This session set the tone for the event, encouraging critical thinking and collaboration.

The second round, Trash Hunt, followed with teams racing to solve clues and
locate hidden e-waste items around the venue. The first six teams to collect all the clues and hand them over to the STEM Club member qualified for the final round. They were also given time to analyze the e-waste and brainstorm ideas for their projects for the next day.

On 8th November, the final round, Trash to Treasure Exhibition, took place. The round began with a unique bidding element, where participants had the
opportunity to acquire additional materials for their projects. Following this, teams transformed the collected e-waste into innovative creations within a set time. The completed projects were showcased to judges, and the top three teams were awarded for their efforts.

The event concluded with Dr. Anusuya Devi, HOD of Applied Sciences, sharing her insightful thoughts on e-waste management and its vital role in fostering a better environment. As a memorable closing activity, all participants left their thumb impressions on a commemorative sheet, symbolizing their shared commitment and marking the success of the “E-Wasted” event by the STEM Club.
