Addy is an app that enhances the addressing system of the world. Instead of remembering long addresses, Addy generates a unique 7-digit code based on the latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates of any position. The code is so accurate that every building in the world has been assigned a different 'Addy' with a minimum distance of 11.132 meters.

What will happen in your session?
We wish to conduct 4-activities engaging people of various age groups in a multi-disciplinary-fashion.
1-There would be trivia about various-places. Subsequently,player guesses the location and points it.The closer she/he is to the actual-location the more points she/he gains.The-player with maximum-point wins.This game is for-all-age-groups and people from all-disciplines.
2-An interactive-session where-everyone would-be-allocated an Addy-Code and they have to talk to the person who has a complementary-Addy-Code. Both have to write-the-traits they observed in the other-person. This would facilitate-interaction between the attendees.
3-A challenge for people having a taste in mathematics and who are fascinated by algorithms. The task would be to develop and polish-algorithms working similar-to-Addy.
4-An activity for the coders to team-up with the people-developing the algorithms-and-implement it via-code!
What is the goal or outcome of your session?
Our session aims at engaging people of varied age-groups and interests. The first activity is a fun trivia quiz game would enable the participants to improve their knowledge-base and worldview, getting to know about the historical/geographical significance of multitude of places in a fun way. Our second activity is an interactive session, would allow people to improve on their interpersonal skills and to get to know people of various countries,their traditions their cultures and make new friends for lifetime.The algorithm challenge works towards honing the mathematical and cognitive abilities of the participants and instills in them a desire to challenge the pro-quo. For the coders the session would provide an opportunity to interact with the people having an algorithmic interest.
