Out of 120 papers recieved, only 70 were selected to present. I was forutnate enough to be one of 70s. I presented a poster on ORIGAMI. Very few people knew ORIgami there. That mae my poster very special.I − presenter the poster on the topic : "teaching of geometry using origami in the class room." I could able to present 10 posters on the topic and also demonstrated several 2-d, 3-d objects. Mine was not like the other lectures.

{{Color-box|5|Interesting read|In this very interesting article, "engineer-mathematician" Dr Barbara Oakley talked about how mastering procedural fluency, combined with language fluency helped her master mathematics, even when she began learning advanced math at the age of 26!
[http://nautil.us/issue/17/big-bangs/how-i-rewired-my-brain-to-become-fluent-in-math How I rewired my brain to become fluent in math]
Barbara Oakley is a professor of engineering at Oakland University, Rochester, Michigan, and the author of, most recently, A Mind for Numbers: How to Excel at Math and Science (Even If
You Flunked Algebra). She is also co-instructor, with Terrence Sejnowski, the Francis Crick Professor at the Salk Institute, of one of the world’s largest online courses, “Learning How to Learn,” with Coursera.}}

{{Color-box|4|Learn Visual Programming|Turtle Blocks is a logo based programming environment for introducing students to the basics of programming.
We can use this to develop visualization, logical reasoning and algorithmic sense in students by performing various operations with the Turtle. This can help in the building of computational thinking and you can also introduce some geometry through this.
Click [https://karnatakaeducation.org.in/KOER/en/index.php/Turtle_Art here] for a series of lessons on introducing Turtle Blocks.
