Hi,
The Shaastra team has been trying to get me to speak at their event for many years. This year I wanted to make it, and as part of the Hackfest at Shaastra 2011 [1], September 28 to October 2, 2011 at IIT-Madras [2], Chennai, I had presented the talk on "i-want-2-do-project. tell-me-wat-2-do" [3].
Most of the students were interested in participating in the Google Summer of Code program. I was also able to meet and talk with past Google Summer of Code students, who had already been introduced to this presentation.
I visited the IITM Research Expo at the K V grounds on campus where students had presented their research work. There were quite a few interesting papers on MEMS [4]. I also attended the Paper and Poster presentation by students at the IITM Research Park [5].
Few pictures taken at the event are available [6].
