Codespace

The Computer Society of India – VIT Student Branch proudly presents our annual flagship event – Codespace 2017, a “Digital India and Smart Cities” hackathon, on the 15th and 16th of April, 2017.

At CSI-VIT, staying in the loop is our biggest priority, whether it’s technology or recent trends. With a recent move, our Hon. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi aimed to move our economy towards a cashless one, thereby turning India into “Digital India”. But this requires the masses to have access to the most recent advancements in technology, and a knowledge of how such technologies can be integrated into our day-to-day lives.

Another idea that’s been making the rounds is that of “Smart Cities”. A Smart City could mean different things to different people, depending on their backgrounds. We at CSI-VIT believe it to be an urban development vision to integrate multiple Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions to provide citizens with real time updates and solutions that fit right into their routine and make a difference.

This is the purpose of our Hackathon – to grant students a platform for their ideas to be showcased, innovated and implemented, so that they can contribute to the progress of technology and literacy in the society, and the country as a whole.
