The mentor himself observed their progress and guided them when needed. Some participants encouraged themselves to try new ideas. Ishan looked at himself in a reflective screen and corrected his mistakes. Tara pushed herself to improve her design further.  

In the final round, both students presented their project confidently and handled the questions themselves. The mentor appreciated their effort and said they had managed the task themselves. Ishan and Tara felt proud of themselves for completing the challenge successfully.
