KCG WOMEN’S CODING CLUB is an exclusive club for women to learn Coding and Associated Skills. It is a platform to create an awareness and interest among girl students on programming. As an initiative, we have conducted a Bulid2Learn session for the girl students on 2nd March 2018 at Watts Humphrey Lab. The session was handled by Ms. Bhavani an alumnus of our college, presently working as a Product Developer at Focus InfoTech and Ms. Krthika also from Focus Infotech. On the first session, students were introduced to the concept of turtle in python. Using turtle they were taught to draw lines, shapes and eventually various sceneries. The students were made to apply their mathematical knowledge and they were also enabled to think in a logical manner. After learning session, the students were asked to prepare a scenery as the theme for the competition Creative Colors that was conducted on 8th March at Steve Jobs Lab. Around 60 students had registered for the competition and participated with much dedication and enthusiasm. All the students applied their knowledge in creating beautiful scenarios with several themes for the competition. They also explained the hidden meaning behind the scenes and proved their technical abilities. Mr.Dorai Thodla and Dr. Sumathi Poobal Vice principal had judged the demonstration. All the competitors presented their work with much excitement. This, in turn, channelized their knowledge and energy towards becoming active participator.
The main objectives of KCG Women’s Coding Club are to improve computational power, logical thinking of students and motivate the students to participate in various events in and outside the college. We also want to help girls fearlessly explore their idea and create the next generation applications. The long-term goal of our Club is we want this club to become a movement to empower more and more girl students.
Dr. Sumathi Poobal Vice-Principal inaugurated KCG Women’s Coding Club by launching club’s official website during Women’s Day Celebration. Faculty and students from various departments had attended the session and made this event fruitful. . We have prepared an AV by collaging all activities related to our club and presented to the audience.
