Innovations Bazaar
The Innovation Bazaar is a space where individuals and organizations present their innovative work on evaluation and receive feedback from participants. It will be organized in a dedicated area, with each selected presenter having a stall to showcase their work. Participants can visit the stalls to listen to the presenters, engage in discussions, and share feedback. . Presenters are encouraged to use creative formats such as storytelling, posters, or documentaries.
Plan for the Bazaar: For the Innovations bazaar
- Kiosks will be set up in the lawns of Lady Irwin College.
- Each selected Bazaar entry will be given a Kiosk that will have a Table, 10 Chairs and an electricity connection.
- Presenters will be free to organize their Kiosk in a suitable manner that persons can walk in and interact with presenters about their ideas.
- A combination of an interactive display/ demonstration along with display material have worked well in the past years
- For their kiosks Presenters must get their own stationary, laptops, projectors etc and any other material they may require
- The use of loud audio speakers will not be allowed. If mikes of low frequency are needed, that do not disturb other kiosks, they may be brought by the presenters and used with prior information
- Presenters must arrive early (8.45-9 am ) and should set up their kiosks, which must be ready by 10 am
- Apart from the selected Bazaar entries Kiosks will also be set up for display of selected poster presentations as well as a book exhibition to give a festive bazaar environment
