Regional meetup @ VVIT
VVIT UIF got a wondrous opportunity to host a regional meetup on our campus. The meet up was held for 3 days from 31 January 2020 to 2 February 2020 in the VVIT campus. It became the first-ever student-led meetup for both the fellows and faculty champions in India. The meetup was designed around our theme "Global Partnership for sustainable development" and was presided by Ghanashyam (UIF India Program Manager), FABs from different cohorts, fellows, non-fellows, student leaders from the campus and faculty champions! A total of 90 people attended the meetup and it was a special and unparalleled experience for us, the fellows at VVIT. We had design thinking challenges, speaker sessions that were lauded by the audience, fun activities, sessions by the fabs, career counsel panels, company visit and many more!
The first day witnessed ignites from two fellows including one from our very own campus fellow followed by speaker sessions by Mr. Venkat from APNRT and Abhay Rangan, UI Fellow and founder of plant-based dairy products company, Goodmylk. Followed by Efftronics company visit where we have all learned about design thinking applications in technical aspects. Finally, the last day observed a few more ignites by FABs, career counsel panels by faculty champions and FABs about employment and start-up culture, and, speaker series by Mr. Shailesh Krishna from ITC, Guntur and Mr. Karayil Suresh, faculty champion at VVIT. The meet ended with a thunderous applaud and a great photo session. It was a great learning experience and also one of the most fun times for us and also the fellows, from the feedback received. It was definitely one of a kind :)
