After the initial success of live streaming of BITSAA-SVC panel discussion a month back, it was time for doing just exactly why embryo was formed for - conduct lectures. Encouragements from BITS faculty, especially Prof Rahul Banerjee and the GLs we got permission to conduct lectures for CS/IS and Mech junta on Sunday. The green signal spurred off the volunteers both here and at Pilani, arranging rooms, getting audience, testing technologies etc. etc.
Fast forward one month, yesterday it felt awesome. I gave my first research talk to BITS students - an audience which was thousands of miles sitting in a familiar remote corner of earth. Undergraduates, MEites and some professors (Dr. Kodali) sat and heard and saw me over internet, and asked questions. I could see them too! The lecture went off without any major hitch. It was an awesome feeling, standing on the other side of class, virtually and sharing my ideas and experiences with them. Cool.
If my note got you inspired to contribute - do visit www.bitsaa-svc.org/embryo/ you will be amazed by what the synergy between a bunch of enthued alumni and encouraging BITS Faculty can do for students at BITS.
