Published on: May 9, 2023

Himalayan School of Science & Technology (HSST) hosted “FIESTA23” on May 6, 2023, which attracted 79 students to take part in a variety of fun activities. The event was an ideal fusion of enjoyment, knowledge, and cooperation. For the students, who had been working hard all semester, this event was a much-needed stress reliever.

Under the direction of faculty organisers, a group of committed volunteers from the BCA, MCA, and B.Tech programmes came together to organise the event. Dr. R.C. Ramola, Principal HSST, officially opened the event and used his address to inspire the students. Dr. Ashish Pasbola, the academic coordinator, Dr. Deepak Srivastava, the department coordinator for computer science and engineering, Ms. Anupama Mishra, the activity coordinator, and other faculty members were also there to support and encourage the students.

The event featured a technical quiz called Brawler’s Battle, where students competed in a knockout match format of laptop games, as well as talent shows, treasure hunts, and producing memes. These exercises were created to enable pupils to enjoy themselves, learn and have fun with technology at the same time.
