Call it the mighty confluence of thoughts with just the right mix of academics and industrial knowledge, or a yearly clash of the best of the student world. It is historic, and it is back again, this time with more rigour, revelations and resounding ideas.
The techno-management fest of Chennai College of Engineering Guindy, Kurukshetra 2011, true to its tagline, ‘The Battle of Brains', will have as many as 15,000 participants from over 300 institutions spanning 75 countries, ushering in a blend of science, technology, research and entertainment.
Scheduled from February 2 to 5, 2011, under the patronage of UNESCO, with the theme ‘PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE', the tech fest this year begins its journey with a range of online and preparatory events.
Lectures on technology and engineering providing insights on exotic topics, workshops that promise to spread excellence, competitions that help you go beyond the conventional bounds of books, and competitions that bring out the most innovative part of you, ‘Kurukshetra -2011' promises to have it all.
The events lined up are many, and the promise of innovation infinite. If Robotics is about creating squadrons of little men who can lift concrete structures, swing them around and restore them with barely a quiver, it would also be about making them cleverer and versatile. Designer's quest this year promises to be quite wild where participants would be expected to design and build a robot inspired by animals. The recent BP oil-spill may have set many a grey cell working; watch them work together at K!onstructor! And while scientists everywhere cite the success of best programmes to their unbreakable code, Khimaera will showcase how the best brains design the blue print of code — complex algorithms from scratch.
And for those who can't resist working on jumbled code, and the temptation of clue, levels and mazes, Enigma, the online puzzle event, would be a welcome treat.
