Here’s another thing I have planned for the next semester - Techkriti.
For those who don’t know what Techkriti is, it is IIT Kanpur’s annual technical festival. Usually held in the month of Febuary, the next edition is planned from February 12th to 15th, 2009.
Having missed other events last year ( I was busy organizing Software Corner, and had 3 straight night outs in the CC), I sure do look forward to this year’s Techkriti.
Some of the interesting events returning from last year are:
- Indian Open Rubik’s Cube – WCA recognized speedcubing event
- Fosskriti – FOSS conference for students
- Gimmick - AI design competition
- Stock Sim – Virtual stock market game like Investopedia’ Stock Simulator
- Tesseract – Online puzzle contest
Some new entrants this year:
- CUDA Workshop by NVIDIA on parallel programming – What is CUDA?
- Crypto Contest
I will post more details on what events I decide to take part in. I am also considering finishing some of my older projects like the Hindi OCR one and putting them up in the Open Software Contest.
The question is will this year’s Techkriti stand up to last year’s success. Considering the global meltdown, it will be a question not easily answered.
