Kids Learning Programming and Electronics

I started teaching kids of 11 to 13 years about electronics, programming. This is a video from their fifth class held on 15th August at ATS Village, Noida.

Sharing my experince as entrepreneur with Academicians at Amity.

Deptt of Science and Technology and Amity University organised a 2 weeks 'training the trainers on entrepreneurial skills' for faculty. Idea is to train the faculty so that they can encourage the students to be an entrepreneur instead of looking for jobs. I shared my experience with faculty members during the inauguration ceremony and later spend 1.5 hours interacting with students.

My hobbys of teaching teenage kids covered in CHIP and tech2.in.com

On 6th December Network18 online magazine featured me in one of the articles about teaching raspberry pi to Nithari Children. The same article was also published in Jan 2013 issue of print magazine 'CHIP'. Soft copy of article published in CHIP is here https://www.box.com/s/4lrc1unvcq7rvm1hi9kb

and the one at online site is at http://tech2.in.com/features/general/a-slice-of-raspberry-pi-for-underprivileged-youngsters/625712

Article was written by Rohini and has over 152 likes and 119 tweets. Here are some of the tweets

marriage planning

Well, it is difficult. I suggest to have an exhaustive manual and things that you may need.

Here is the list that I think is required

1. Medicines
2. Toiletry/Cosmetics
3. Basket for snacks
4. List of phone numbers of all active persons (friends, relatives and employees)
5. Plans for each persons with date and time using google calendar and google drive.

Some steps I have taken is as follows

1. Placing bulk order with Easy Day/Apollo/Mother Dairy and telling them to deliver material quickly on demand that we forget / have additional needs.

Will be sharing the docs and the experience and the mistakes after the event.

Visit to UIET @ Kurukshetra

I was invited by Mr Rahul Gupta of UIET to present Industry designs on Oct 19th.

I presented about what I do to M Tech students and B Tech students. While students and Mr Gupta was very passionate and enthusiastic, their course and existing knowledge was too obsolete. I shared two kits of PT60 controller from freescale with Aseem Bansal and one more student.

Here is the copy of presentation.
