Participants arrived gradually and settled in for the session with the opening prayer and the Itsekiri anthem.

Emmanuel Egbe conducted a review of the previous craft session with the participants.

Debi Amadedon then explained the session’s focus and its relevance, emphasizing the need for participants to engage their minds through thought and sensory perception.

Different categories of mathematical games were printed on papers and distributed among the participants. They worked collaboratively, asking questions and seeking assistance when needed.

A Rubik’s Cube competition was held between teams Olu Atuwatse and Olu Ginuwa, and between teams Olu Erejuwa II and Olu Ikenwoli. Team representatives competed to solve the Rubik’s Cube.

In the first round, Team Olu Atuwatse defeated Team Olu Ginuwa, and Team Olu Erejuwa II emerged victorious over Team Olu Ikenwoli.
