To “engineer” means to make things happen. If I am asked to summarize the activities covered by the term “engineer”, I can list down end-less tasks which an engineer can accomplish. And I bet there will be few threads in the world which an engineer can’t sew. I assume this is the reason why engineering is the most preferred career option. I maybe wrong, but if my chips are down and I want to be rescued, I will trust Jack of All Trades to steer my story to a happy ending. Yes, engineers are well bred in variety of tasks which makes them use technology to successful innovation. If every engineer can do this, why is India still far behind in terms of technology?
The Answer to question is the lack of practical approach. Absence of practical experience in our education system is not the sole culprit. The book-warms who spend all their time absorbing the influential theorems forget how equally important is the live-practical hands-on session of the same theorem. We, at Code Instruct, aim to bridge the gap between the theories presented in 1000 pages book to experimenting them in the most productive way.
On the banks of Goddess Ganga, the App Challenge is organized at the Mecca of Indian Education. Indian Institute of Technology is located at the heart of the Varanasi city. The motto of the college itself coincides with everything Code Instruct aims at: Education is Character. Exactly what we want our next generation to have a strong foundation and with the tournament like this, can only help them to stand apart from the crowd during their interviews. The influence of education in one’s life along with an employability enhancement opportunity like this can only pave way for a better future.
Code Instruct proposes the challenge wrapped inside the competitiveness and perks of competition at one of the most prestigious institution in the country. In the time of smartphones ruling our day and all important information a touch away, technology has simply delivered us from boredom to liveliness. Android can easily take most of the credit for this transformation. Android-enabled phones and tablets have made living simply in the concrete jungle. All the information you want and desire is available through well-organized applications. And since the scope of these applications seems to rise, so does the need of people who can develop such kind of apps. Thanks to Google, Android Developers have complete freedom to sell their apps in the market.
