The workshop was conducted from 2nd January 2018 to 13th January 2018 in Don Bosco College of Engineering, Fatorda. The resource faculty for the workshop was Mr. Vibhav Kharangate and Mr. Shravan Hegde, Earnestek, Margao. The workshop was attended by Third Year Computer Engineering Internship students of Don Bosco College of Engineering. The coordinator for the workshop was Prof. Kiran Waghmare.
In first week, Mr. Vibhav Kharangate gave insight knowledge of programming language PYTHON with software called “pycharm”. Various concepts of coding such as variables, lists, sets, functions, objects and classes were covered using PYTHON programming.

In next week, Mr. Shravan Hegde started with raspberry pi hands on session. In this session, Raspberry Pi was used to control LED, various kinds of sensors and bot using PYTHON programming. They also taught IOT (Internet of Things) i.e. how to control a Raspberry Pi using a phone using MQTT protocol.

The workshop was interactive as well as hands on, with simultaneous practical sessions conducted by resource persons. The objective of this workshop was to deliver important programming skills which would be beneficial to students with regards to their future final year projects. Students were encouraged and challenged to create their own mini projects and come up with innovative project ideas.
