Participants: 45+ attendees, 10+ volunteers

Event Summary:
As part of IEEE Day 2024 celebrations, the IEEE Computer Society Student Branch Chapter of LBSCEK organized a two-day hands-on training session on Generative AI, led by industry experts, Mr. Jinu Babu (Generative AI Solution Architect, DevFactory) and Mr. Jinish George (Service Delivery Manager, TCS). Over 45 students participated in this interactive event In which over 30 was IEEE Volunteers, which focused on futuristic topics such as Generative AI, data handling with Pandas, prompt engineering for large language models, and LangChain for building AI applications. The bootcamp also introduced version control practices through Git and GitHub.

In preparation for this bootcamp, IEEE Computer Society Student Branch Chapter LBSCEK organized CodeIgnite 8-day foundational programming Bootcamp , which provided participants a strong base in Python programming. This preparatory step proved crucial during the hands-on sessions in the EVOLVE Bootcamp, where students smoothly handled programming part.

The event’s primary focus was to equip students with practical AI knowledge and skills, bridging the gap between academic theory and industry needs. The top-performing participants will move forward to the remote Ascend phase, where they will take on more complex projects, with the opportunity to earn internships or job offers from DevFactory.

The EVOLVE Bootcamp successfully enhanced participants confidence and abilities in AI, preparing them for further career opportunities in this growing field.
