Event Details
Workshop 1:
Speakers: Mr. Praveen M (Speaker) & Mr. Rohith M (Speaker). The first session, “AI Agents & Prompt Engineering,” introduced participants to designing and optimizing AI-driven systems through effective prompt crafting. Attendees explored frameworks for building intelligent agents, learned strategies to refine prompts for accuracy, and practiced real-world applications. Interactive demos showcased tools like LLM integration and task automation, while hands-on exercises focused on debugging and iterative improvement. The workshop emphasized balancing technical precision with creative problem-solving, enabling attendees to harness AI for diverse scenarios. By the end, participants gained foundational skills to develop efficient, user-centric AI solutions.

Workshop 2:
Speakers: Mr. Shajmaan S & Mr. Ashiq S.
The “Embedded C Using AI” session explored programming AI-driven logic into embedded systems with a focus on C coding efficiency. Participants practiced writing algorithms for tasks like sensor data analysis and real-time control, tailored for low-resource microcontrollers. Exercises emphasized memory optimization, speed-critical coding, and interfacing hardware with AI-based decision-making modules. Topics included designing lightweight AI models and deploying them directly on embedded devices without external frameworks. The workshop highlighted balancing computational constraints with intelligent functionality for applications like automation and IoT. Attendees gained skills to merge AI concepts with bare-metal C programming for smarter, self-contained systems.

Seminar Session:
Speaker: Mr. Franklin Josemone M.
The seminar “How to Build a Startup from Scratch” outlined key steps for launching a business, starting with idea validation and market research. Speaker shared strategies for crafting lean business models, securing funding (bootstrapping/pitching investors), and building scalable teams. Highlighted common pitfalls like misjudging demand or poor financial planning. Emphasis was placed on agility, customer feedback loops, and iterative product development. Attendees learned frameworks for balancing innovation with practicality, from MVP creation to growth hacking. The session concluded with actionable tips for resilience, networking, and adapting to market shifts in early-stage entrepreneurship.
