Yup, I'd second that too. However, at this point of time none of us are aware of the profile of the 
students. Hence, we are aiming this to be a priming session where we could record their questions 
and feedback as well. This could provide us with an indication of what more things can be done there 
(including install-fests and other workshops ). Also, we have a time limit of 90 minutes.
