The NUST Olympiad

Introduction to the Idea

This April, the National University of Science & Technology comes together to create a

mega-event like Pakistan has never seen before. With the largest and most diverse student

body in one location, NUST offers a truly unique experience – representatives from all over the

country, brought together for a common purpose – to truly unleash their potential. With over

fifteen events spanning four days, the Olympiad allows ample opportunity for students to

explore their talents, trying their hand at photography, video-graphy, debate, dramatics, etc.

We seek to provide an environment to nurture and encourage talent, wow the senses, and

leave a lasting impression.

NUST Olympiad 2013 was planned to bring together the central societies of NUST on a single

platform. They will collaborate to make this event a never-before-seen amalgamation of over

twenty unique activities.


Islamabad

A warm cup of tea, a gentle cool breeze

grazing past your skin, the pitter patter of

raindrops beginning to land on your window

from the dazzling clouds that seem to change

color every time you look at them. That’s a

normal day in Islamabad, and during the five

days you spend at the NUST Olympiad, you

won’t be able to take your eyes off the city.

Construction began in the 1960’s with

Islamabad now being ranked as a Ga mma

World city. Located ideally between the

foothills of the gorgeous Himalaya mountain

range and Rawal Lake, this scenic and peaceful

city holds a diverse set of natural attributes

that few other cities in Pakistan may boast

about. Sweet water streams riddle the Margalla hills along with its famous trekking tracks. The

hills also happen to house the 82 acre Islamabad Zoo and family recreational area at its very

base. Rawal Lake houses facilities for sports lovers from all ends of the spectrum, with

everything from extreme water sports to

fishing alongside ATV’s and paintballing. No

matter what your taste, Islamabad is sure to

deliver.

Home to Presidency, the Prime Minister’s

Secretariat, the Supreme Court of Pakistan

and Saidpur Village, the capital holds a vast

array of architecture spanning from modern

Islamic, traditional Sub continental to British

Colonial. The proud home of the Faisal

Mosque, a wonder of architecture ranked the

6th largest mosque in the entire world, the

Capital pays homage to the nations’ history with the Pakistan monument which is a must visit

when in the city. Housing various technological parks, the headquarters of all major comm-

unication operators, the major top ranked universities of the country and the third largest stock

exchange and airport in the nation,

The city is second to none in terms of

technological advancement mixed with

the warmth and courtesy that is inherent

to Pakistanis, making every time you visit,

seem like you’re coming home. The

sprawling NUST campus is situated just

minutes away from all these sights, and

touring the city is encouraged.

The armies of Alexander the Great,

Genghis Khan, Tamerlane and Ahmad

Shah Durrani all passed through the area

leaving behind their traces on their

conquests of the Indian Subcontinent.

Forts, temples, pagodas and shrines are located all over the plateau within driving range, the

historical richness of the city and its outskirts are nothing less than a treasure trove for those

who value history. Last controlled by the British who made Asia’s largest cantonment in the

region before Pakistan gained its independence, tinges of British architecture may easily be

seen in the twin city of Rawalpindi, located at a 15 minute drive away from the capital.

VENUE

The National University of Science & Technology (NUST)

A campus sprawling seven hundred acres, four

separate campuses throughout Pakistan,

collaborations with the world’s top foreign

universities from North America, Europe and

Australia, joint projects with renowned

institutions such as CERN, IBM, NCR and Intel

and ranked in the top 450 universities

worldwide. The National University of Sciences

and Technology (NUST) are second to none

when it comes to education

Located near the heart of the capital, the main campus in Islamabad is one of the most scenic

advanced smart campus’ in the country. With

WiFi hotspots all around, you’re al-ways

connected. When there’s a big match, it’s on

a projector with a crowd of roaring fans.

Forgot your schedule? That’s what our online

learning management system is for. Sports

make up a large part of life here at NUST.

With flood lit football grounds, basketball

courts and cricket grounds, you just won’t

have enough time to try everything out. Each

department sports its own league, eventually

leading to inter league matches and


tournaments. You’ll find die hard supporters for every department t when it comes to NUST,

with the inter department matches drawing scores of cheering crowds from all over the

campus.

When the sun starts to set, there’s really no place as beautiful as this campus. Sipping a

warm cup of tea while sitting in a gazebo right outside Concordia café gives one a glimpse of

the beauty that the capital is known for. A vignette of colors dashing across the sky, trying to

complete their short lived existence, disappearing as the sun sets further behind the horizon.

Cornered on one side by the footsteps of the Himalayas and on the other by a lake, Islamabad

sights are well within a driving time of no more than thirty minutes from campus.

3V3 BASKETBALL- It’s not how big you are, it’s how big you play!

An American basketball coach said, “You

don’t play against the opponents, you play

against the game of basketball.”

Only a good basketball player could

assimilate this quote. They know how intense

it could get. In other words, when the game

reaches at climax, it isn’t less than war minus

the shooting. They say winning isn't

everything, then why do they keep score?

If you want to know the answer, NUST

Olympiad '13 awaits you.

3D MODEL

Are you an enthusiast of 3D modeling or you are

having futuristic & innovative architectural ideas?

Come, join us & participate in 3D MODEL, a part of

NUST Olympiad. Express your skills, concepts, ideas

& “look beyond what you see”

Objective:

The event would focus on providing the

participants an opportunity to demonstrate their

scientific skills at a practical level as well as test their

abilities to design and create. The competition

consists of two rounds:

In round 1, teams are to focus more on the

maximum possible detailing they can do in

their models.

In round 2 teams are to work on the best

possible way of executing their ideas into

reality.

Approach - “look beyond what you see”

The idea is to NOT replicate the buildings the way they are but provide the participants with a

chance to go as wild with their imaginations as they want to.

NUST’s Buildings under consideration:

RIMMS, IGIS, SADA, IESE, CONCORDIA, HOSTEL BLOCK


First Half:

The participants will be provided with the scaled down one line plans of the buildings.

The venue of the competition will be the area where the participants get the views of all the

mentioned buildings, the teams will be required to construct a part of their models through the

buildings’ angle exposed to them. The teams will also be provided with the perspective images

of their respective buildings exposing the portion visible from the venue. This would assist them

during their model making. Through these images the teams will be required to complete half

of their models.

Second Half:

In the second half the teams will then be asked to complete the rest of their building

the way they visualize them, in order words, looking beyond what’s actually exposed in front of

them. This will not completely bound the teams to replicate the buildings as they are but will

provide them with an opportunity to test their creative skills and come up with wild and

amazing ideas of how they perceive the rest of the building inside their heads. However, the

other half should create a connection with the actual building somehow (whose perspective

image would be provided to them) so that it won’t be completely out of the bounds.


The designs have to be rational with a valid reason why the teams have designed the other half

in the manner they have done. The will be asked to submit a short write up supporting their

achieved forms.

Grouping:

6 buildings have been selected so 5 teams will be provided with similar plans and will be

working on one building. The teams can therefore be piled up in six groups. One group with 6

different plans, so that in a group each team will be working on a different building.

Rounds:

Regarding round details, as we will be demanding the teams to work on their artistic skills too

so we can divide the event into two rounds.

Round 1: Completion of half of the model through the perspective images provided to

them.

Round 2: Completion of rest of the model through their imagination but in relation to

half of the model they would have already created by then.

Judgment Criteria:

Judgment criteria should be based on:

Completion percentage

Neatness

Strength of the model

Creativity (in implementation of ideas)

Material diversity (while keeping in mind every material’s constraints)

How the two building halves visually communicate with each other as a whole.

The submitted write up (presenting the team’s point of view)


Material Provided as per Team:

Materials required as per model:

Shashlik sticks, Tooth picks, balsa wood, steel wires (moldable, medium thickness),

transparent plastic sheets,

Green/brown/grey kite paper or crepe paper for applying textures

Green/brown/ grey/red/white spray paints/ poster paints as per NUST's building

requirement.

Sr.No Material

1. Scissor (medium sized with a pointed tip)

2. Paper Cutter (2 per team)

3. Steel Edge (2 per team)

4. HB Pencils

5. Erasers & Sharpeners

6. Black & Blue pointers

7. German glue small size

8. UHU medium sized - 2 per team

9. Scotch tapes

10. Box board sheets size 20”X30’’

brown or white (6 sheets per team)

11. Thermo pore sheet A0 size

12. Lasaani board size 30x30”

(thin sheet for the base)



After time up all the teams must stop working on their models. Not following the orders

will result in negative marking.

In round 2 teams will be required to come up with their own ideas. Extreme

resemblance to the existing buildings will be highly unappreciated.

Copying other teams’ ideas will not be tolerated and may result in disqualification.

Time distribution: Total time 4 hours

Teams’ grouping:

Round 1 – Briefing and Execution.

Break.

Round 2 - Briefing session, idea development and execution.

A short 10 minutes Write up session.

Submission.

Break.

Announcement of results.

Registration Process:

Register yourself via online registration: Each team will be provided with an ID and

Password along with a Team number after the submission of the online registration

form. Where you will be able to edit your team member(s)/ Change your event till a

specific deadline.

Each team is required to mail us their Pictures along with their scanned copies of

student cards for the completion of registration process.

After the submission of all the documents and payments, Team leaders of each team

will receive a confirmation email.


Chess Championship

In chess everything rests on tactics. If one thinks

of strategy as a block of marble, then tactics are

the chisel with which a master operates, in

creating works of chess art. - Tigran Petrosian

Do you think you have that strategically

innovative mind to pull out the best tactics in

chess play? Do you believe that your intuition can

lead you to be the survivor among the finest

ploys? Then gather around the thrilling platform

of NUST Olympiad 2013 to question your strategic

abilities and employ your schematic skills to stand

among the achievers at Chess Championship.

Feel the heat and excitement of battle closing in,

because this April at NUST Olympiad the conquest

awaits the power of your mind magic!

The event is basically a chess competition.

Participants will have to compete against each

other. The one who competes successfully

through the 2-Day quest of conquer, wins the

throne!

Day 1:

The participants will be divided into teams of two by the organizers on random basis for

matches. The competitors will play the chess as per rules.

Day 2:

The winners from first day matches will compete with each other the next day (semi-finals). The

winners from semi-finals will then play the final round.


Each game will be supervised by an organizer. External judges will be present to solve

any technical problems that may arise.

Rules:

Every game will be timed (1-1:30 minute per move).

It is mandatory to move the touched piece.

Winner gets 1 point and draw (stalemate) gets 1/2 points.

Every match will be refereed and his decision will be final.

Participants have to reach in time otherwise walkover will be given to the other

opponent.

When the allotted time for a game is over , the final decision about the winner will be

based on current winning participant at that time


Design & Glide

Design and Glide gives you an opportunity to design

your own glider which will compete against gliders

designed by students from various universities. The

judgment criteria includes flight time, following the

design parameters and the distance travelled

(horizontal range) of your glider. The equipment will

be provided to you by the Nust Science Society. The

aerodynamics and compactness of your design will

put your team in a winning position.

Event Plan:

Each Team will consist of 4 members. Teams will be

given 40 minutes in the start to make a plan. The plan

will consist of a neat diagram and all the

specifications of their glider like the stabilizer and

wings length and surface area of stabilizer

The formula for calculating surface area for horizontal

stabilizer is as follows:

Stabilizer surface area = 1.2 * wing surface area *chord area / distance from center of gravity

Wing surface area is calculated by multiplying length and width of the wing ,chord area is the

total length of glider (from front end to rear end), center of gravity is found by locating point of

intersection of medians but here we will assume the center of gravity to be any point on the

fuselage

TIP1:

Reduce the chord length and increase wing span for better and compact glider that will fly a

longer distance


TIP2:

Centre of gravity is about quarter of chord length away from the stabilizer

Your Glider is supposed to be look like somewhat like the blueprints below:

After the allocated 40 minutes, teams will submit their plans and start making the practical

models they will be given 2 hours and 20 minutes to make their desired gliders. After their

completion we will set up a course with targets that gliders will have to hit aerially. Each team

will be given 3 tries to hit our targets. The targets would be balloons filled with helium gas that

rise up and will be attached to strings of different lengths.


Judging Criterion:

Judgment will be done on the basis of following equation

S= 0.3c + 0.3d + 0.4t

Where:

S=score obtained

c=calculations (based on aerodynamics)

d=distance covered

t=time of flight

The glider after completion shall look something like below:


Materials Provided:

Sr.No Material

1 1/16x1x24 Balsa Wood Sheet

2 Mini Kite paper

3 Geometry boxes

4 UHU Glue

5 Paper Cutter

dimensions in metric units .The name of their respective University/department must

also be mentioned

The team and school name should be clearly visible on the aircraft. They should be

identified using a permanent ink marker

The glider must be competition-ready within the specified allotted time. No

modifications to the glider are allowed after the glider is submitted to the judges for

inspection.

The design drawing should be submitted for judging at the time the glider is inspected.

The contestant releases the aircraft after being given the “OK” from the official timer.

Timing starts as soon as the model is released and stops when it hits the ground or

comes to rest against any obstruction in the prescribed launching area.

Each aircraft is given three (3) launches.

Repairs are allowed between flights. However, no changes may be made to the basic

design of the model once the competition is under way. Repairs must be made by the

contestants.

EVENT DETAILS

Game Plan:

The game type played in this event will be Capture

the Flag. The goal of each team will be to capture

the opposing flag and return to their own base

without getting hit.

General Information:

This event will be held outside the NUST H-

12 campus. The exact location will be communicated with the team captain well before

the event.

A total of 5 members are allowed per team.

The system will be KNOCKOUT throughout the event i.e. team winning all the matches

wins the event.

A player is out and must leave the field if a paintball breaks on him or he calls himself

out for any reason.

If a player is carrying the flag when he is hit, he must immediately drop it.


A team may not move their own flag unless an opposing player has first moved their flag

and is eliminated, and then the team may return the flag to its starting position if they

desire.

A team wins by eliminating all the players of the opposing team or capturing the

opposing team's flag and returning it to their own base.

RULES & GUIDELINES

A brief on the rules and guidelines will also be given by the management and referees from

‘Battlefield Islamabad’ team. Few general rules are:

1. Starting of the Game

The game will start when both teams are set at their respective bases. One team calls out that they are ready, the other team responds that they are also ready, and then the first team calls "Game On" and the game begins.

2. Hits

A player is hit if a paintball leaves a solid, nickel-sized mark anywhere on the player's body or equipment. Some variations of paintball don't count gun hits or require multiple hits on the arms or legs. Splatter often occurs when a paintball does not break on a person but on a nearby surface and then paint bounces onto the player, but this does not count as a hit unless it forms a solid mark on the player.

3. Paint Checks If you think you might have been hit but can't tell for sure (such as if your back was hit, but you can't tell if the ball broke), you can call a paint check. Shout "Paint Check" and the closest player to you (on your team or the other team) will come and check you. If you arehit, you will then exit the field, otherwise everyone returns to their previous position and the game is resumed when the player who initiated the paint check shouts "Game On!".


4. Walking Off the Field

When a player is hit, they must then raise their gun over their head, shout that they are hit, and then quickly leave the field to the dead area. Be sure to keep your gun over your head and to shout that you are hit whenever you come across new players.

5. Victory

When one team has completed the necessary objectives, all players still on the field should be notified. Do not remove masks until barrel plugs or barrel covers have been placed on all loaded guns.

6. Safety Rules

Wear Masks at All Times Do Not Drink and Play No Blind Firing Allow Surrenders Shoot less than 280 FPS Use Barrel Plugs Use Common Sense

The Green Quest

This is another one of the environment themed

competitions sprinkled throughout the Olympiad.

Feeling inspired to go green? Or have great

motivation to recycle and benefit the earth? This

‘Green Quest’ is one fun-sized contest packed with

activities and tasks to bring attention to the state of

the planet. Are you up for it?

Event Details

The main aim of the quest is to collect green

ribbons; the team which collects the most

ribbons in the smallest period of time wins

the quest.

At the start of the quest each team will be

given a clue which will lead to a particular

location.

At each location there will be a representative

present which will hand each team the next

clue. Along with that each team will be asked

a question and upon the correct answer they

will be given a green ribbon. But if they fail to

answer, they will have to find the ribbon

themselves.

Each clue will lead the team to the next one.

As the game proceeds, some clues will lead the teams to places where they will have to play

a game to earn 3 ribbons.

Every team will play 3-5 such games before reaching the final clue which will lead them to

the treasure awaiting them thus bringing their quest to an end.


Rules & Regulations

The teams will only be allowed to play the game within the allotted time. If any team collects

a ribbon after the time ends that ribbon won’t be considered.

Any team found to be quarreling with the representative of Olympiad team will be

disqualified.

Any sort of Misconduct will not be tolerated. In case of misconduct by the representative the

teams will report it to the Event head.

In case of any confusion or ambiguity the final decision will be made by the judges.

There is a possibility that the teams might cross paths at some point in the quest. If a team

tries to disrupt the other team’s progress in any way that team will immediately be

disqualified.

The quest has been designed so that the teams display team work and have fun and at the

same time play a role in cleaning up the environment so it’s important to avoid creating a

mess while on quest.

If there is any situation or problem that is not present in the rules provided, the decision will

rest with the judges and judges only.
