Winner’s Way – Second Session: Learning from the Ethos Trophy Winners

Continuing the initiative introduced by the 64th Council of NASA India, the second session of Winner’s Way was held on 7th January 2022 (Friday) at 1900 hrs. This special session focused entirely on the Ethos Trophy, providing students with an exclusive opportunity to learn directly from the winners of the previous cycle.

Winner’s Way, as an initiative, seeks to share the experiences, approaches, and design philosophies of past trophy winners, encouraging participation and promoting collective learning among students across all zones. It also stands as a platform to recognize and celebrate excellence in student work — inspiring peers to raise the bar for future competitions.

The second session followed an interactive storytelling format, where the winning team of the Ethos Trophy shared their work, explained their concept development process, and discussed the strategies and insights that led to their success. The session was conducted live on Zoom and simultaneously streamed on NASA India’s YouTube channel, ensuring accessibility for students across the country. It was led by Abinaya RP, Events Head, 64th Council.

With active engagement and questions from participants, the event turned into an inspiring conversation that went beyond just the trophy — touching on collaboration, problem-solving, and the importance of critical thinking in architectural practice.

The successful execution of this second session strengthened Winner’s Way as a recurring and much-awaited knowledge-sharing series — continuing to motivate students to participate, explore, and excel in NASA India’s trophies.
