Be With Engineering:
Prior to the Grand Finale is “Be with Engineering”, a 2-day makers event that is to be conducted on Nov 14th and 15th 2019. The event provides a platform to bring together like-minded students passionate about Science and Technology. The main objective of this programme is to give students an overall view about what the true spirit of engineering really is. Through the course of these two days, the participants will be accustomed to the environment of Sahyadri and will be given the opportunity to interact with entrepreneurs and widen their social network and work in the launchpads and labs. They will get a chance to explore all the resources that Sahyadri has to offer and make the most out of it. This is an initiative created out of the intention to make India’s youth change the generic definition of Engineering altogether. By the end of this two-day program, the students will be able to present a different perspective of engineering and take their projects to greater heights through the mentorship and guidance of Students and leaders at Sahyadri.
DTlabzis a technical space provided with major resources to help enthusiasts realize their dreams through technology. The lab also nurtures young minds through frequent guidance from engineers and helps in solving the problems faced in the process of the same. At DTlabz, they believe that everybody has an idea worth solving but lack the proper guidance and resources to do so. Thus, DTlabz emphasizes on a step by step process that every individual must go through in order to thoroughly enjoy the implementation of their ideas.
