Important: We have got Leased Line Connection in School w.e.f. 31st Dec. We are also in the process of setting up a Digital Internet Lab with 5 MM PCs with MM Server

A two-day Computer Festival to be held at Ramjas School, R.K.Puram on 7th-8th January 2005.

“DynamiX 2005 is an attempt to bring together the best minds across Delhi to engage in a friendly Competition” – Organisers of Ramjas School

Events:

Quiz

Eligibility: Open | No. of participants: 2 per team X 2 Teams

2 Participants per team with maximum two teams per school. Open for all classes. Written prelims of 30 minutes. Top 6 teams shall participate in the final round. Topics shall range from General Knowledge (obviously computer-related), to acronyms and visual rounds (only in finals). Be ready for some fun. 🙂

Gaming

Eligibility: Open | No. of participants: 1 per team X 1 Team

Stand up to the challenge. Each school sends one brave warrior to contest in the arena. The games shall be announced on the spot. The first round is where a handful of the best shall be picked for the finals, while the rest get eliminated. The games shall test the skill, bravery and reflexes of the gamers, the three virtues that every warrior must consider sacred.



Senior Programming

Eligibility: Class IX-XII | No. of participants: 2 per team X 1 Team

Time: 2 hours. Match your programming prowess against others. The no. of questions and other details shall be included in the question paper. Your logical and analytical abilities shall be tested. The participants are free to choose their programming language from amongst C++, VB and Logo (;-P)



Junior Programming

Eligibility: up to Class VIII | No. of participants: 2 per team X 1 Team

You’ll have to choose your programming language just before the event begins (from amongst VB/C++/Logo/Q-Basic) because there will be two sets of papers. One set for C++ and VB, and the other set for Logo and Q-Basic. The questions shall be different but the overall skill level and marking scheme shall be equal and balanced. No set has any advantage (except that the clue for the Special event shall be in a different form)



Junior Presentation

Eligibility: up to Class IX | No. of participants: 2 per team X 2 Teams

Yeah. Its just Junior Presentation. No limitation on the format of the presentation i.e you can get it even as a Flash presentation, a Movie clip etc etc. But you’ll have to make sure that you bring the required plug-ins or software or codecs that shall be needed to run it. The students shall present their presentations to the entire audience and 5 minutes shall be given to each team to display their masterpiece. Judgment criteria: 30% marks on Originality & Concept; 20% marks on Communication skills; 30% marks on Content; and 20% marks on Structure and Flow. Teams must bring their projects on CDs, Floppies (though avoid using floppies as far as possible) or any other portable storage medium. Teams are requested to bring along the necessary drivers and additional software (if any) to run their storage devices. Go present! PS: There seems to be a confusion about the topic. There is no topic. 30% marks on Originality and Concept. If you are unable to think of any good topic and want some suggestion, sure! Make it on: The Dark Side of Internet. Understood?

Web Designing

Eligibility: Open | No. of participants: 1 or 2 per team X 1 Team

Teams get 2 hours to design their masterpiece and get the topic on-the-spot. All the necessary graphics and text information shall be provided. No internet access shall be allowed. The sites shall be judged on their design style, presentation, loading time, creativity and imagination.

The list of available software is now out!

* Microsoft Frontpage 2000 or XP

* Macromedia Dreamweaver

* Macromedia Flash

* Swishmax

* Adobe Photoshop

Obviously no external data or software shall be allowed.

Group discussion

Eligibility: Classes X-XII | No. of participants: 1 per team X 1 Team

Speak out! The controversial topic shall be announced on-the-spot. The participants shall be judged on the basis of their confidence, relevance, quality of content and presentation skills. There will be two rounds: Prelims and Finals.

Crossword

Eligibility: Open | No. of participants: 2 per team X 2 Teams

Get ready to exercise your grey cells! There will be two rounds: a preliminary written round of 30 minutes followed by a final on-stage round where the top 6 teams from the prelims compete before the audience. Anything in the computing world may be asked (obviously in a cryptic form), right from General knowledge to specific famous code samples.



Ringtone composition

Eligibility: Open | No. of participants: 2 per team X 1 Team

Schools get ONE HOUR, not 2 hours as mentioned in the invitations. Sorry for the blunder. Teams need to compose a nice little 10 seconds ringtone on the theme provided on-the-spot. (wink!) The software provided shall be Fruity Loops (double wink!).

And now, the Special Event

Eligibility: Open | No. of participants: The entire team

You’re not going to get any info on this! Its a special event. Just look out for hints here and there in the site, as well as during the event. Of course, you’ll be told what the special event is during the inauguration on the first day, so make sure you’re there on time. And keep checking this page for some new hints and clues. One very important clue shall be put up on this page 2 days before the event and the schools need to solve it and come prepared to give the answer right after the inauguration. This shall be very useful, as you’ll be able to get a better understanding of the event if you have solved the clue. 😉

As Test Series+Pre-Boards approaching for students of Class XII

Pre-Boards approaching for students of Class X

It becomes very important for the Exun Members of classes VI-IX & XI to take the charge and become more active in posting articles on lnExun. From a long time, I have not seen, students posting any tech-article, and I would love to see now. The winter break will be the right time to have Exchange of your Web-Reserch, Tech_experience, Tech-readings, etc.

If you wish, we can have a VB.NET session during the winter vacation as per the suggestion given by Mr.Ashwani (Microsoft). I attended one & was really impressed by the new features introduced in it.

Think things today without connectivity… One feels “oh no how my hand will talk to the head or as if my legs will not move as instructions have not come from the head” (connectivity well existed in the very first creation of the God – the Human Body Parts), we took a lot of time to practically implement it using intenet communication, satelite communication, …

Old people say “We also worked, we also studied, we also had social life – We never had phones” – Cellphones obviously never existed at that time so the statement becomes Absurd.

Yes more communication allows more problems too. The generation of the current time has to understand things more seriously and has to be more responsible. The tools of today are born in the time of current generation – The current generation has to find the solutions to the Problems attached with it before it is to late!!!

I thank my dear colleagues who played very important role in smooth functioning during “the Big One”

Well organised under leadership of Karan Misra & Maanick Nangia (the 2 Gems of batch of 2004-2005). I congratulate both of them for the BIG success of Exun 2004.

Karan has mentioned everyone’s contributions very rightly – I actually share the same views as him.

People have different level, caliber, style, potential, … and I think the most important what I expect from “Exunian” is “the right attitude” – I think that all of us have. So worry not if your name is not listed below (We love and care for each and every Exun member – each one of you are important to me)

But, think why the names missing – make it up for the next time.

The ingredients :
