An engaging event that promotes interaction and camaraderie among students through fun and participative activities — fostering a creative and collaborative atmosphere.
Participants pick a chit and speak on the topic written on it for 30 seconds (in HAM) and 60 seconds (in JAM). If a participant fumbles, makes a grammatical error, takes an unnecessary or prolonged pause, or deviates from the topic, others may interject — stating a reason for the judges to evaluate. A valid interjection passes the remaining speaking time to the interjector.
Selection takes place 2 weeks before the event. Students are given one word and must speak on it for 30 seconds without stopping or deviating, with no grammatical or pronunciation errors. If a student is unfamiliar with the topic, hosts will offer a hint. Twenty students are selected from this round. Students may also HAM each other during the selection round.
