Pesticide usage worldwide has quadrupled over the last 40 years, from an average of 0.5 Kg per hectare in 1961 To 2kg per hectare in 2004!
Only 50% of Nairobi's water supply actually reaches the customer!The other half is lost through leakages and illegal connections
The snow and ice in The Eastern Himalayas have shrunk by an astonishing 30% since the 1970s!
2% of the household batteries in the UK are collected for recycling. Councils involved need to step up their efforts to reach their target which is 25% by 2012 and 45% by 2016.

It is estimated that up to 1 trillion plastic bags are consumed worldwide each year, more than one million per minute.*
Toil to make your thoughts come true. Let this be a kick start to engineer your mind machine.
There are three rounds in this event
The preliminary round will be of objective type and participants will encounter questions from the basic concepts of Microprocessor, microcontroller, digital electronics and Electric circuits.
Ten teams will move on to the next round.
The next hurdle is a simulation round. Teams will be provided with problems on circuit debugging and microprocessor programming. PSPICE simulator and Microprocessor 8085 simulator will be given. The outputs will be verified for even the worst cases.
The performance will be assessed based on the time taken and the outputs obtained.
Six teams will progress to the final round.
The final round involves descriptive, circuit designing and coding questions.
Mnemonic sheets will be provided.(if necessary)
The team may consist of a maximum of two members.
Team Members should produce valid ID cards.
Participants should register online for the event. On the spot registrations will not be entertained.
Participants are requested to be at the spot ten minutes in advance.
Registration at the info desk on the day of the event is a must.
