During Community Day at Atria Institute of Technology, the Rotaract Club of Atria I.T. took things up a notch with their quirky, brainy, and downright fun health-awareness stall: Balloominati! No secret society here — just a bunch of enthusiastic Rotaractors on a mission to pop ignorance and spread knowledge! The star of the show? A balloon-popping game that wasn’t just about getting that satisfying POP! — oh no, each balloon hid a chit with a fact about a disease, ranging from the commonly known to the “wait, that exists?!” kind. As students rushed to pop their balloons, laughter filled the air, but so did awareness. What started as a game turned into an eye-opening health journey — and yes, a few were shocked that hiccups could be a symptom! Next came the Paper Cup Pyramid Challenge — aka the “Jenga of teamwork.” Students worked in groups to stack paper cups into towering pyramids, realizing quickly that it wasn’t as easy as it looked. But here’s the twist — this wasn’t just about balance and steady hands. It was a fun metaphor showing how community support is the real MVP in disease prevention and health education. Plus, nothing bonds people faster than collapsing pyramids and shared laughter! To wrap it all up, the club hosted a disease guessing game, where participants were given clues and symptoms to identify various health conditions. Think of it as “Who Am I?” but with diseases instead of celebrities. From “the one with butterfly rash” to “that rare one named after a doctor,” students had a blast guessing — and learning — in the process. By the end of the day, Balloominati had not only left students smiling but also thinking differently about health. With games, giggles, and just the right touch of “Did you know?”, the Rotaract Club of Atria I.T. proved that learning doesn’t have to be boring — sometimes, all it takes is a balloon and a little curiosity.
