GDG on Campus Orientation Session
Google Developer Groups(GDG) intro session started with our mentor Khushali Raval welcoming everyone and talking about why joining developer communities matters. The core team then showed how big GDG is worldwide and how students of G.E.C. Patan can tap into tech-related activities. We talked about building connections with industry professionals and other tech-loving students. We were introduced to some helpful Google tools. The session concluded with students asking lots of questions about GDG activities and technical skills. The whole event got first-year students excited to become a part of our GDG family.
Unlocking the Future with Machine Learning
Mr. Sumit Chawla led an AI/ML workshop which was organised in collaboration with four universities-ITM SLS Baroda University, Karnavati University, Marwadi University, and Birla Vishwakarma University. AI/ML fundamentals with their real-world applications were introduced. The session emphasized the importance of hands-on experience and practical implementation. Career opportunities, skill development strategies and open-source contributions were also discussed. The workshop concluded with an interactive Q&A session that offered expert insights to participants.
Basics of Git-Github & Linux
The workshop on Basics of Git, GitHub, and Linux by Kuber Jaydeep at GDG on campus covered Git commands like git init, git add, git commit, git push, and git pull for version control and branching. It explained GitHub’s role in storing and collaborating on code through pull requests and branch management. The Linux section covered basic commands like ls, cd, mkdir, rm, and chmod, along with package management using apt-get and text editing with nano and vim. The workshop highlighted how Git, GitHub, and Linux streamline development and collaboration.
Tech Winter Break
The workshop on Web Development conducted by Yogesh Vasisth at GDG on campus covered the basics of building websites and web applications. It introduced HTML for structuring web pages, CSS for styling, and JavaScript for adding interactivity. Key concepts like responsive design, the DOM (Document Object Model), and event handling were discussed. The session also touched on modern frameworks and libraries like React for building dynamic user interfaces and managing state. Best practices for performance optimization, accessibility, and cross-browser compatibility were highlighted, providing a solid foundation for developing modern web applications.
Introduction to Robotics
The workshop on Introduction to Robotics conducted by Krish Patel at GDG on campus covered the fundamental concepts of robotics, including the design, programming, and control of robots. It introduced key components such as sensors, actuators, and microcontrollers, explaining how they work together to enable robotic movement and interaction with the environment. The session discussed different types of robots, including autonomous and remote-controlled models, and explored programming techniques used to control robotic behavior. Practical examples and demonstrations helped illustrate how to build and program simple robots, providing a solid foundation for further exploration in the field of robotics.
Dive into Java Development
The 2-day Java Bootcamp conducted by Kunal Awasthi at GDG on campus covered the fundamentals of Java programming, focusing on both theory and practical applications. It started with the basics of Java syntax, data types, and control structures, followed by object-oriented programming (OOP) concepts like classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism, and encapsulation. The bootcamp also introduced exception handling, file handling, and Java collections such as lists, sets, and maps. Participants worked on hands-on coding exercises and small projects to reinforce their understanding. The session concluded with best practices for writing efficient Java code and tips for solving common programming challenges.
