think practically and critically, yet not realizing it as it is disguised as a
game. Mind Blown consists of many brain games, brain teasers, quizzes,
IQtests,puzzleandlatestnewsandevents(SpellingBees,MUNs,etc).

Presentingthechosendesign-Aneducationalbrainmagazine

Reason: This magazine will help the general audience,especially

the school community who reads it, to think out of the box.
Mind blown will give the reader information and notifications
about current educational competitions and encourage the
reader to participate in the same. This magazine will also help
the reader use more of their brain's capacity and can distract
themfromtheirdailyuseoftechnology,forsomethinggood.

To create this magazine, we will be using Google Docs,

Google Images, Joomag and other such software to make our
magazine.
