WHAT IS
SCINNOVA?

Scinnova is Cedar College’s flagship science competition, designed to be more than just an academic challenge. It is an immersive learning experience that brings together 100+ teams of budding scientists from across Karachi and Pakistan.

This year’s Scinnova consists of nine modules, each an intellectual arena representing a distinct field of science. Together, they showcase how a deep, interdisciplinary understanding of our world fosters true critical thinking, collaboration, and innovation.

THE MODULES
I

ARCANUM

Mystery
Arcanum

Arcanum blends science with mystery through forensic science, data encryption, and logic puzzles. Teams tackle cryptographic challenges and crime scene analysis, developing analytical and deductive reasoning skills. Students learn to apply mathematics, logic, and technology to solve real-world puzzles and uncover hidden patterns.

II

ILLUMINATIO

Chemistry
Illuminatio

In Illuminatio, students engage in hands-on experiments, delving into the composition and transformation of matter. Teams conduct experiments that reveal chemical reactions, molecular structures, and energy dynamics. This module emphasizes safety protocols, attention to detail, and the scientific method.

III

PTOLEMY'S PUZZLE

Maths
Ptolemy

Named after the renowned mathematician Ptolemy, this module involves complex problem-solving, mathematical modeling, and logical puzzles. Students apply algebra, geometry, and calculus to solve theoretical and practical challenges, pushing the boundaries of their mathematical understanding in both abstract and real-world contexts.

IV

PLANCK'S PARADOX

Physics
Planck

Planck's Paradox brings theoretical physics to life, guiding students through scenarios where common sense meets scientific complexity. From quantum mechanics to relativistic principles, students grapple with deep concepts that stretch their critical thinking and challenge their understanding of the fundamental laws of the universe.

V

ASCLEPIUS

Biology
Asclepius

Named after the Greek god of medicine, Asclepius offers an immersive journey into the life sciences. Through intricate dissections, genetic analysis, and simulations of biological processes, participants experience the profound complexity of living organisms and the delicate balance of systems that sustain life.

VI

REDSHIFT
