1) What information tools & technologies did you used to complete your CyberFair project?
For our CyberFair project, we employed a diverse range of tools and technologies to ensure its success. Our toolkit encompassed everything from traditional computers to visits to museums. Here's how we utilized these resources:
PCs and Laptops: These were indispensable for conducting research, organizing data, and editing videos. They served as our primary workstations throughout the project.
Applications: We leveraged a variety of applications such as Google Drive, Zoom, YouTube, and Video Editor. These platforms facilitated seamless information sharing, virtual meetings, and video compilation and editing.
Interviews: Conducting interviews was a cornerstone of our project, serving as our primary source of information. This method allowed us to gather firsthand insights and perspectives on our topic.
Audio-Visual Equipment: Devices like microphones and headphones were essential for ensuring clear communication and effective dialogue delivery during interviews. Cameras were utilized for recording visuals, while smartphones aided in additional research and project-related activities.
Scanner: The device is used to scan all No objection letters, feedback from the participants and the viewer.
Google Search Engine: As a ubiquitous information tool, Google Search proved invaluable for accessing a vast array of online resources and information relevant to our project.
Additionally, our project involved a visit to the Nehru Children’s Museum, where we explored an embroidery exhibition commemorating the 100 years of Sukumar Ray’s 'Abol Tabol'. This experience enriched our understanding of our topic and provided valuable insights for our project.
In essence, our CyberFair project benefited immensely from the strategic integration of various technologies and tools, enabling us to conduct thorough research, create engaging content, and effectively communicate our findings to our audience.
2) In what ways did you act as "ambassadors" and spokespersons for your CyberFair project both on-line and in person.
Students are always excited in participating at the International CyberFair because of its international presence, reconnecting to the roots and interacting with important personalities. The students researched well to zero in on the list of people they wanted to interview. They also attended literary fests to grab their contact and establish a communication. Successfully they were able to convince a few and later arranged interview either in person or online to further add to the resource material.
For any academic institution, parents are a great source of wealth. Their words act like motivation. In this edition of CyberFair, the parents teamed up with the students to bring out some of the best productions. Indeed this is a project of creating and collaborating together.
The guests were extremely happy to know that the students are working on this topic and that too for a prestigious competition. Their focus was to help this young bunch of people to go back to literature and know the rich heritage of it.

3) What has been the impact of your project on your community?
Through this project the students have been able to connect and collaborate with parents, grandparents, cousins and relatives, teachers, professionals and their peers. The videos uploaded on our website show the rich variety in community connection and hitting the bull’s eye with the content.
4) How did your project involve other members of your community as helpers and volunteers?
Most CyberFair teams need lots of advice and help to complete their entry... did yours???
Through this initiative the students would like to thank the teachers for their constant help, family members for their guidance and reputed professionals for their time and knowledge.
This project would have been incomplete without the help of –
Subha Das Mollick (Documentary Filmmaker)
Pradip Sengupta (Geologist and maker of first ever popup book In Bengali)
Jayanta Kumar Ghose (Curator of the embroidery exhibition)
Soumyo Banerjee (Translator of few Abol Tabol poems)
Dr. Pinaki De (Academician & illustrator)
Dr. Anindya Kanti Biswas (Painter)
Kolkata Literary Festival
The Telegraph (newspaper)
Students could conduct interview and meet in person Ms. Subha Das Mollick, Mr. Pradip Sengupta & Mr. Jayanta Kumar Ghose.
But people residing in faraway places helped the students by meeting them online over Zoom platform and guiding them on the content.

Tell about your helpers: who they were, how you found and asked them, how they helped. This is a great place to give them great big thanks. You can even link their stories to some pictures if you have them. (Be sure you have their permission to publish their pictures first, however.)
