Day 1

Topics Covered: IoT with cloud and AI/ML

Speakers: Mayur Patil and Praveen Hanchinal

Session 1
started with IoT and cloud handled by Mr. Mayur Patil sir. It was an ice breaker session, since cloud computing has been a topic of interest for most 6th semester students and sir delivered the lecture in a detailed and simple manner along with working model simulations. The use cases regarding cloud computing and the way companies such as wipro are implementing this new technology was informative. Following are the excerpts from the workshop that we understood

Internet of things: The term IoT, or Internet of Things, refers to the collective network of connected devices and the technology that facilitates communication between devices and the cloud, as well as between the devices themselves.

Various projects that can be done in Iot using Arduino, raspberry Pi and other electronic components such as sensors(photosensor, IR sensor, proximity, piezzo etc and it's uses) etc were discussed.

Software for virtually assembling components and testing - tinkercad demo was shown using Arduino

Various iot devices available in Amazon such as smart bulb, smart fan regulator, etc manufactured by Wipro were shown along with its applications.

Session 2: AI/ML by Praveen Hanchinal

The second session had live demonstrations with lots of visuals and kept us hooked to the projector screen. Mr Praveen Hanchinal sir delivered the lecture in an efficient manner. He was able to give basic idea of Deep learning, machine learning and AI within the given time constraint. Following are the excerpts from session 2.

AI / ML
Definition of AI and ML and deep learning and it's differences were discussed.AI is the artificial intelligence or placing our human intelligence in machines and training it to act and behave like humans for our help

ML - Subset of AI. AI is implemented using ML techniques
Deep learning - subset of ML. Complex ML techniques are implemented using DL

Other branches of ML such as supervised learning, unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning were discussed and it's subdivisions such as classification, regression, clustering, association.

Day 2

Speaker: Mayur Patil

Topics covered: Blockchain & Cyber Security

This session consisted of a lot of new information and a whole new exposure to the world of blockchains, the visuals made it easy to imagine and understand the structure and information stored and passed in blockchains. Why are bitcoins based on blockchain technique

Following are the excerpts from session 1 of day 2:

Blockchain definition discussed- A blockchain as a distributed or shared database that is shared among the nodes of a computer network. As a database, a blockchain stores information electronically in digital format. It maintaining a secure and decentralized record of transactions.

Hashing definition. Difference b/w Blockchain and Database. Key difference between a typical database and a blockchain is how the data is structured.

How a blockchain collects information together in groups, known as blocks, that hold sets of information. How Blocks have certain storage capacities and, when filled, are closed and linked to the previously filled block, forming a chain of data.

All new information that follows that freshly added block is compiled into a newly formed block that will then also be added to the chain once filled. How Each block in the chain is given an exact time stamp when it is added to the chain. How It's used as a ledger for transactions.

In Bitcoin, blockchain is used in a decentralized way so that no single person or group has control-rather, all users collectively retain control. Decentralized blockchains are immutable, that is data entered is irreversible. For Bitcoin, this means that transactions are permanently recorded and viewable to anyone. Simple code was explained using node.js, crypto-js, simple-bc.js and Vs code

Mining concepts discussed - Recomputing all the hashes and checking if it's valid and encrypt the hash for new block by validating the blockchain and find a new value for given hash also called as mining.

Session 2: cybersecurity

This session was by far the most interesting one and also relatable since we had learnt certain basics of security from CNS, the different types of attacks and how to conquer them were really fascinating . excerpts from this session are:

How to secure our devices, how to stay away from malicious sites and links, how to safeguard our various accounts, the authenticity of websites and links

Where all hacking occurs and what are its results/losses, real time example of an IAS officer's account hacked and ask for ransom. All in all session was really interesting.

Day 3

Speaker: Mayur Patil

Topics covered: RPA( Robotic process automation) & metaverse

The last day was the one with most working demo’s , following are excerpts from day 3 session 1 and 2.
