Before the Event:

The event was announced and advertised through various posters on WhatsApp and the official Facebook page of IMechE NUST PNEC Student Chapter. The posts included details and specifications of the event, an announcement of mentors for the teams, and registration forms and procedures. The captions were therefore designedsothat students' interestwillbe increased in applying for it. The first-year students of PNEC were mailed the competition and registration details to make sure each student will come to know about it. The participants were then sent reminders through email about the upcoming deadlines.

The event was managed by M. Ali as the Registration lead and Abdul Moiz Ali as the Public Relations Lead. Despite these, the mentors were assigned to the teams so that the participants cannot feel down if any problem arises and continue to pitch their idea. The mentors are Second-year Mechanical Engineering students at NUST-PNEC and were chosen due to their earlier experience from taking part in the Abul Kalam Design Challenge last year and making it to the national phase.
