The different events of the fair were held at separate venues in and around the North South University campus in Banani on February 13. The fair, officially launched by Hafiz GA Siddiqui, vice chancellor, North South University sported events like Hardware Exhibition, NSU Genius Hunt, Radio Controlled Toy Car Racing and movie shows.

The hardware exhibition was participated by Global Brand and Khan Jahan Ali Computers, two leading computer firms at present. The companies set up stalls at Sher Plaza where they displayed laptops, digital cameras, monitors, pen drives and web-cams. Alongside, the free internet prepaid cards which were being distributed by O-net, to the students of the University, attracted a huge crowd.

The Radio Controlled Toy Car Racing also created quite a sensation among students participating as well as those who were in attendance during the event. NSUCC members arranged a huge winding track where the toy cars were raced.

"We received a substantial amount of appreciation from both visitors and the participants for holding such an event," said Abdullah Al Asad, media in-charge, NSUCC.

The movie show was a bit different from the shows arranged last year and the year before. "This time, we showed some latest movies like 'Taxi', 'Cellular' and 'Shall We Dance?' in a THX environment with over 16 speakers," said Asad, about the movie show which was highly appreciated by the movie-buffs of the university.

The Genius Hunt was one of the highlighted aspects of the 3rd Techno Fun Fair this year.

"The whole idea behind the hunt was to find a special person who is quite innovative and creative as far as his technical knowledge and professional skills are concerned," said Ashiqur Rahman, president, NSUCC.

Students from different fields of study like Electrical Engineering, Computer Science & Engineering and Computer Science provided independent projects for the Hunt. Faculties from the Computer Science and Engineering Department judged the projects and awards were presented to the winners at a separate event during the movie show.

"Our whole intention was to expose the student to some latest hardware as well as to entertain them in whatever ways possible," said Rahman. "We are glad that the fair was a success at reaching these objectives," he added.

Even though most of these events were arranged for the first time, sources inside the NSUCC assured that these will not be the last and other innovative events will be organised at the 4th Techno Fun Fair next year.
