IEEE Day Event 2: Typeblaze-Typing Speed Challenge

The TypeBlaze Typing Speed Challenge was a dynamic event held as part of the IEEE Day celebrations at St. Joseph’s College of Engineering and Technology, Palai. Organized on Day Two of the seven-event series, this challenge tested the typing speed and accuracy of participants. A total of 28 students took part, with 10 IEEE members and 18 non-IEEE members competing in an exciting and fast-paced environment.

The challenge required participants to type a pre-determined passage within a set time limit, with their typing speed measured in words per minute (WPM). Accuracy was just as important as speed, as errors led to penalties, making it essential for participants to balance quick typing with careful precision. 

After an intense competition, Abel Bin, a 2nd-year student from the AD Department, emerged victorious, securing the first prize of ₹300. Felix, a 3rd-year student from the CS Department, was awarded the second prize of ₹200. The cash prizes were handed over by the Director of the college, adding an extra level of recognition to the winners’ achievements.

The event was not only a fun and competitive experience but also served as a valuable platform for students to hone a critical skill in the digital age. As part of the IEEE Day celebrations, it furthered the objective of enhancing technical and practical skills while fostering a spirit of camaraderie among participants.
