Meta Magic
Our lives today revolve around technologies that utilize material properties; attributes of materials which were once unheard of. But we take these for granted and don’t notice exactly how whacky things can get under the hood. At Meta Magic you get to see how wonderful even the simplest process can be if you know where to look for it. At this open exhibition, we show you breathtaking demonstrations that promise to keep your curiosity piqued. At Meta Magic we plan to demonstrate a set of experiments which will be like a magic show for these kids.

Lions Club Dance
Students of Lions Club School for Special Children are performing the first dance of Dance events. Lions Club School in Surathkal is a school for mentally challenged people who are trained and developed to live with the society.

Big brother
Be the Big Brother or Sister to a MAD kid, and spend an inci evening with the kid. Take the kid through the events of the day, encouraging the child to question, enquire and learn more about the world. An evening out with an elder sibling will do a world of good for the kid, boosting his or her confidence tremendously. In the process, you get to view inci through a child’s perspective. Gift the kid with your companionship and you will take back an experience that will stay with you forever. The kids come at around 2pm and will be there till 8pm on 3rd of MArch. Hence we combine all the activities happening for them with big brother.
Treasure Hunt

Help a team of 4 kids from MAD solve simple clues to various places around campus. The kids get to know the campus better and hopefully you, the kids! We promise you and the kids a 'fun'tastic experience. Let the Joy Hunt begin!
Splash T-Shirt
At inci, watch the kids from MAD go on a riot of colour, as they dip their hands into paint and splash them on to tee shirts as a display of their artistic prowess. The splashed tees will be on show for some time before the kids get to take their own customised tee!
Flying Lantern
We show our commitment to the MAD cause, this inci by letting the kids release flying lanterns. The flying lantern symbolises the hope, joy and the spirit of a better world for the kids. At the End of the World Party, witness the Beginning of the New.
