The entire event facilitated development of soft skills among the learners, like teamwork, problem solving, active listening, conflict resolution,critical thinking, empathy, management etc. They discussed various strategies involving handling of electronic waste to minimize environmental impact. Understanding of the students was examined with a pop quiz on the topic. Students of various schools displayed their exhibits under the "waste to art” project.
