Friends.
Received the following talk proposals.
1. Introduction to RaspberryPi (with demo)
by Mr. Chandrashekar Babu.
Brief summary:
An introductory demonstration on RaspberryPI board with
example on how to control devices connected to GPIO
interface using shell script and Python/Ruby. If time permits,
I will also demonstrate how to control devices via the web.
Duration: 20 minutes (approx).
2. Spirit of Engineering
by Mr. Balaji Venkatachalam
Brief info about the talk:
In the current scheme of things, the prospect of becoming
an engineer is not really a choice made but is actually an
obvious next step in the minds of high school students who
don't want to/can't be a doctor. More importantly, what kind of
engineer he/she chooses to become is driven by the marks &
parents more than interest & passion. Saddest of all stories
would be the things he/she would go through in college without
proper understanding and how the person end up forming a
career for oneself! This talk is aimed at listing the problems
and the shortcomings in the system, analyzing the probable
solutions and creating a sense of awareness among students,
parents and folks associated with the field of education.
The talk can end with an open discussion with the audience to
give them a chance to voice their opinion on this topic and
anything they would like to add to it.
Duration: 15 mins (approx).
Waiting for one more talk proposal to publish the meeting announcement.
Please volunteer to give a talk.
Thanks.
