Quark (technical festival) workshops, there were also informal workshops on poker and Aviation origami. In the spirit of true curiosity, Quark 2014 came up with Celesticon.

An interesting informative session on the cosmos drew lots of curious enthusiasts. Quark 2014 also witnessed an expansion in the number of competitive events. Events such as TechQuilla, Papertoss and Lazer Dart were introduced for the first time. These off-beat, non conventional events were well attended.
