PS CODESSY 2024
The 2nd edition of our school’s annual computer science fest – Codessey was held on 20th November 2024.

The Binary Blitz event was a race against time – an overwhelming 21 teams participating, of which, a mere 8 would go through to the next round, completing programming problems integrated with mathematical concepts.
Another exciting event was the Sprint Interview; a real-life experience where participants had to prepare their resume and were interviewed on various topics like AI, Data Science, Machine Learning, etc.

Potpourri was well received by participants; the rounds followed a game-like structure, with the first round based on dumb charades, the second on taboo and the third one ‘heads up’, where participants would hold up a placard on their heads and their team-mates would have to make the participant guess it.
