The Faculty of Architecture, in collaboration with the Innovation Centre, Manipal University organised an inter-disciplinary toy-making competition, called the “Toy Make-a-thon”, at Hampi Hall on September 8-10. The participants were asked to make toys out of the specific materials given to them without using any technological or electronic equipment.
The event was the brainchild of Arun Shanbhag, Chief Innovation Officer of Manipal University. Along with students exploring their creativity, the contest also aimed to connect the students to nostalgia and challenge the conventionalist way of doing things.
