Brief description of the event:
Overview:
The Entrepreneurship Development (ED) Cell recently hosted an exciting and dynamic event titled *”Unleash Your Inner Shark”*. This competition was designed to challenge participants’ entrepreneurial knowledge and problem-solving abilities in a fun and engaging manner. A total of 13 teams competed for the title of ultimate business strategist through a series of rounds that tested their wits, speed, and resilience.
Round 1: Video Presentation and Word Search
The event kicked off with all 13 teams viewing a detailed video presentation. This video contained valuable content and clues relevant for answering questions in the subsequent rounds. The first challenge for each team was to solve a word search puzzle. The faster teams completed the puzzle, the sooner they could move on to the next stage: a series of stations where their entrepreneurial knowledge would be tested.
Round 2: Stations and Challenges
After solving the word search puzzle, teams were directed to three stations representing real-life business challenges, each overseen by a professional:
- Experienced Business Consultant
- Intellectual Property Lawyer
- Tax Advisor
At each station, teams were required to answer four business-related questions. However, there was an added twist: if a team couldn’t answer a question correctly, they had to complete a fun dare to move forward. These dares added an element of surprise and fun, keeping the teams on their toes.
Teams that struggled to answer most of the questions were sent back to re-watch the video presentation to pick up on details they might have missed. The six fastest teams to complete all three stations, either by answering correctly or completing the dares, advanced to the next round.
Round 3: Team Face-Off
In the third round, the competition intensified. The six remaining teams were paired up in head-to-head matchups, each answering five questions. The team that answered the most questions correctly from each matchup advanced to the final round. This round tested knowledge and the ability to perform under pressure as teams battled each other to earn their place in the final.
Final Round: Rapid Fire
The last and most thrilling round saw the top three teams go head-to-head in a rapid-fire question format. Each team was given five questions, and speed and accuracy were crucial. The team that answered the most questions correctly in the shortest time emerged victorious, earning the title “Inner Shark Champion.”
Conclusion:
The “Unleash Your Inner Shark” event was a resounding success. It combined entrepreneurial skills, business knowledge, and a dash of fun dares to create an unforgettable experience for all participants. The event pushed the teams to think quickly, collaborate effectively, and overcome unexpected challenges. Congratulations to all the participants, especially the winning team, who unleashed their inner sharks!
