We believe this would be a more effective approach to learning while increasing chances to create innovation. This would also give students a rough overview of how problems are solved in the real world.</span> <span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px; font-family:Calibri; color:#000000; background-color:transparent; font-weight:400; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline">This would also include competitions such as Makeathons, buildathons etc.</span> <span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px; font-family:Calibri; color:#000000; background-color:transparent; font-weight:400; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline">Target date: We look to create a makeathon in the coming semester (February 2017 to June 2017).</span>

=== <span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(46, 117, 181); font-family: Calibri; font-size: 21.3333px;">Bridging the cultural barrier and promoting inclusivity among students</span><span style="font-size:21.333333333333332px; font-family:Calibri; color:#2e75b5; background-color:transparent; font-weight:400; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline"></span> ===

<span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px; font-family:Calibri; color:#000000; background-color:transparent; font-weight:400; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline">This program is already present on campus and we are only looking to enhance it.</span> <span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px; font-family:Calibri; color:#000000; background-color:transparent; font-weight:400; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline">Ethnic day is one day when all students and faculty come dressed in clothes representing their cultural background, It is a very vibrant and cheerful day, and everyone can witness the cultural diversity present. We want to arrange for this to happen more than once a year. The other idea is to organize a ‘culture-con’ where students must come dressed in the attire of some other culture!</span> <span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px; font-family:Calibri; color:#000000; background-color:transparent; font-weight:400; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline">While we do celebrate all major festivals on campus, we also want to celebrate the festivals of some minorities to ensure they don’t feel left out.</span> <span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px; font-family:Calibri; color:#000000; background-color:transparent; font-weight:400; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline">Overall this strategy would bring about religious and cultural tolerance while reducing any friction that might exist and thus promote inclusivity.</span>
