Hour Of Code

      The Hour of Code event, organized by the Department of Computer Engineering at SVKM's Institute of Technology, Dhule, in collaboration with the SVKM IoT ACM and ACES Student Chapter, aimed at teaching programming to students in an interactive and enjoyable way. The event was held across three different schools: SVKM School, L. M. Sardar Urdu High School, and Kamalabai Girls High School, and targeted students from different linguistic backgrounds including Urdu, Marathi, and English. The students were introduced to Scratch programming, where they designed animated logos, including a Google logo, and engaged in blockly games that helped them understand basic programming concepts such as loops and logic.

      The event was a hands-on experience, giving students the opportunity to apply what they learned by creating their own animated logos and solving problems through programming games. The session was a great success, and all participants received certificates and stickers as a token of appreciation for their involvement.
