I turned the television on this 26th of January to view the Indian Republic Day Parade. I personally enjoy viewing the floats from different states of India. Each float is more beautiful than the other. This year was no different than the previous years.
Little did I know that I will have a deja vu experience the very next day! Let me explain.
January 26th marked the completion of Phase 1 in Texas Instruments Innovation Challenge - India Analog Design Contest, 2014. As the deadline approached, the projects arrived, one by one. When we opened the folder next day, we were treated to the video demonstrations of the projects. It felt great to watch the students confidently explain their projects and show the demonstration of their working prototypes. I felt that I was once again watching the floats in the Republic Day parade. Except that the number of video demonstrations far outweighs the number of floats in the parade. We have close to 300 videos to watch!
It is practically impossible for any one person to view all the project demonstrations! So we have sought the help of several experts to help us evaluate the project reports and video demonstrations. You can help us too! Here is how:
1. On your computer, start your favourite search engine.
2. Type "Texas Instruments Innovation Challenge - India 2014" and search for Videos
3. Enjoy the videos! If you prefer to view videos in any specific area, you may refine your search further - e.g. specify areas such as "medical," "security," "automotive" etc.
4. Please do encourage the students by hitting the "Like" button and/or through comments.
So what are you waiting for? Grab some popcorn or samosa and a cup of tea or coffee, and get started!
