GitHub Seminar - Session Overview

GitHub Seminar - Interactive Session

• This was my first time teaching a seminar, and it was a great experience. I had the opportunity to teach the basics of GitHub to a cohort of around 30 students.
• The seminar was divided into two parts:
  • Session 1: An introduction to GitHub, covering the basics of version control, repositories, commits, branches, and pull requests.
  • Session 2: An interactive session where students practiced using GitHub, including creating repositories, making commits, and collaborating on projects.
• The seminar was well-received, and I received positive feedback from the students. Many of them expressed that they found the content helpful and engaging.

This was a collaboration with Sayan Ghosh. Where we created a comprehensive YouTube playlist aimed at demystifying Git for beginners.

• Watch the Playlist
• It’s a total of 5 videos, each covering a specific aspect of Git, from basic concepts to advanced features, including but not limited to:
  • What is Git?: An introduction to version control and the basics of Git.
  • Git Commands: A deep dive into essential Git commands and their usage.
  • Branching and Merging: Understanding how to work with branches and merge changes effectively.
  • Collaboration with Git: Best practices for collaborating on projects using Git.
  • Milestones - This is a specific video for a project that the students were working on, where we helped them set up Git for their project.

This series is designed to be accessible for beginners, providing a solid foundation in Git version control. It is particularly useful for students and professionals looking to enhance their collaboration skills in software development.

• This Community reachout program was organized by Verizon and IIT Madras BS Program, where I had the opportunity to interact with kids from marginalized communities, teaching them the basics of Robotics and AI.
• The session was well-received, and the kids were enthusiastic about learning. They were eager and enthusiastic, asking questions and engaging with us.
• This session also helped me ground myself in reality and understand the challenges faced by kids from marginalized communities in accessing quality education and technology.

With the Enthusiastic Kids

• This was a community reachout program where I had the opportunity to interact with students, mainly from 3rd to 5th grade, teaching them the basics of computers and how to use them effectively.
• This was made possible thanks to Kristu Jayanti College, and Prof. Amjad Khan, and Prof. Sevuga Pandian, who helped organize this event.
• The session was well-received, and the kids were enthusiastic about learning. They were eager and enthusiastic, asking questions and engaging with us.
