Delhi Public School (DPS) Megacity hosted CRESCO Scientiam 2023, an inter-school science fest on 18 and 19 July 2023. Seven schools across the city participated in the event, which was organised by students and staff of the host school. The fest aimed to provide an interactive platform for students to learn, collaborate and compete, and thereby foster a culture of scientific inquiry and innovation.

Four events were planned for the first day. Students spotted scientific anomalies in movie clips in the event ‘Reality Check Reels,’ and solved tangram-like puzzles during ‘Mind Maze Marathon.’ Two digital events, ‘App Forge’ and ‘Dev Derby’ were simultaneously held, where students developed mobile applications and web projects respectively.

Activities for the second day included ‘Food-o-Logy’ where students created edible representations of scientific objects, ‘Pont de Popsicle,’ where the objective was to create a bridge out of popsicles to support the maximum weight, and a treasure hunt called ‘Cryptic Clue Chase.’ Digital events for the day included creating digital art, comic strips and coding.
