Techfest Starts On January 24

Techfest, the Annual International Science and Technology Festival of Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (IIT-B), is all set to start from January 24. This is for the first time the Techfest is going to global as students from Sri Lanka, Dubai and Denmark are going to participate in the fest.

Techfest, is popular among science and engineering students across the country.

A competition for legged robots for the first time named the 'arthrobot' is being introduced by the organizers. The participants are expected to build a legged robot which can pass through a designated path in the least possible time.

They are expecting participants to build a biped (having two feet) robot, which is very difficult at institute level. "We will definitely get quadrupeds or six-legged robots," added Shintre.

Around 20 teams will participate in the initial rounds. Three teams from each centre will participate in the finals at Mumbai.

Besides the competitions, Techfest is also offering a platform for innovative ideas. 'Prayaas', one of their competitions, will allow participants to present their ideas on how to use renewable sources of energy. There will also be workshops on ethical hacking and archery.

Techfest 2009, scheduled from 24th to 26th January, promises to carry the legacy handed over to it through eleven years and bring a bigger and a better Techfest.

We had our Yqworld contest where audience were asked few simple question and rewarded with T-shirts and Dg cams. Many were able to answer and few were not and our targets were those few who were not.  

 We had our 5-6 representative at our stall at any given time who were talking to the students and showing them our website on the big projectors and laptops that we had installed.

Internet was connected and students were asked to surf on it and look for the education and career information, aim was to see the searching pattern that students follow, so we can understand and make changes and build our website accordingly and also showed them how easy it is to find info on www.yqworld.com.

We were able to help and educate the youth on present education and career environment, through the exhibition we came across so many prospects and were able to reach our youth (TG) on ground level and got an opportunity to speak and survey them in person to know what are the difficulties that students are facing regarding which studies to take up, career, information on universities, institute. 

We made the notes of all the questions, problems faced by students and quires that we got over 5 days of the exhibition and worked on it to design our website www.yqworld.com in such a way that it gives out quality and relevant info to our users. We came also came across students who has difficulties in choosing the right career, so we also created our own exclusive Aptitude test design taking which a student can have a better understanding of which career are they more suited in.

It was an amazing education exhibition and we are proud that we were part of it. And we are glad that we were able to help our youth and solve their problems and look forward to keep doing that in future with www.yqworld.com

We also looking forward to participate in many other such Education exhibition.
