Kathford FOSS Community (KATHFOSS) of Kathford Int’l college of Engineering and Management is going to organize a code camp - “Evolve ( ) 2.0” at Kathford Int’l College of Engineering and Management in the support of Kathford Robotics Club (ROBOKATH). Evolve( ) 2.0 is a series of Evolve ( ) organized by KATHFOSS each year. Our first code camp i.e., “Evolve( ) 1.0” was organized in May, 2015 and due to some internal problem we couldn’t give it a continuity in 2016 and thus we came up with Evolve( ) 2.0 in 2017. Here we promote the ideas of the students and help them code their ideas and change them into reality by providing them with mentors, a suitable environment and many more. Students will need to form a group of minimum 2 and maximum 4 members and then submit their ideas among which top 10 ideas will be selected for “Evolve( ) 2.0”. The selected 10 teams will be provided with mentors to code their idea and they will have to pitch their idea and present a demo as well. Based on those demo and pitch, winners will be selected and awarded accordingly. This code camp will be very helpful for each and every individual to improve his/her personal skills to enhance the practical knowlegde which helps him/her in different stages of career development.

Objectives of Evolve ( )
  1. To help students sharpen their minds and give them an opportunity to develop their practical knowledge.
  2. To provide platform for interaction and healthy competition among the creative minds in technical fields and marketing managaement.
  3. To provide exposure to the young students.
  4. To develop team work among the students.
