IEEE St. Joseph’s College of Engineering student branch chapter organized the I-Robotica 3.0Â Bright Ideas Bootcamp, a grand, hands-on workshop held on 27th September 2024. This highly anticipated event saw participation from second-year, pre-final-year, and final-year students from the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE), fostering collaboration across different academic levels.
The workshop was conducted by resource experts from Techknots, including Mr. Nixen E and Mr. Harish, who brought their industry experience to the table. They provided in-depth, practical training on embedded systems, sensors, Arduino boards, and the Arduino IDE. The interactive learning environment encouraged students to work collaboratively, exchange ideas, and develop creative solutions.
A crucial focus of the bootcamp was on guiding students in their projects for the Smart India Hackathon. Special emphasis was placed on the qualified teams, with experts offering tailored advice on how to make their projects more accurate and efficient. By addressing key challenges and providing real-world strategies, the experts helped students refine their project concepts and improve execution.
Throughout the event, students had the opportunity to present their ongoing projects, discuss their successes and failures, and receive one-on-one feedback from the mentors. This personalized approach allowed students to overcome project roadblocks and gain new perspectives on problem-solving.
At the conclusion of the event, Dr. Jayarama Pradeep, the Head of the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, felicitated the resource persons from Techknots. She also addressed thestudents, highlighting the critical role that workshops like the Bright Ideas Bootcamp play in shaping their future. She also emphasized how such practical learning experiences help students develop both technical expertise and problem-solving abilities, essential for their academic and professional growth.
Outcome of the Event:
