HackLoop,

Manali Tanna

I am the head of sponsorships for the event, HackLoop 2021. I am a member and organizer of the C.O.D.S community at PES University. 

C.O.D.S is a student-run organization, where you can expect to: -

• LEARN about the latest technologies and topics you are passionate about.

• DEVELOP your technical, communication, interpersonal, and leadership skills.

• GROW into a confident, knowledgeable, and technically informed individual.

C.O.D.S. was started to help people find their interests by letting them explore various domains through interactive sessions and to engage members of the community and convey information in an informal environment. From discussions to hands-on sessions to workshops, we bring together everything that’s required to improve an understanding of Data Science, Machine Learning, the Internet of Things, Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing, and Cryptography.

The crux of C.O.D.S. is to provide a supportive and positive learning experience in which members are empowered to develop communication and leadership skills, resulting in greater self-confidence and personal growth. We achieve this by building skills of the students through peer to peer learning, conducting seminars where basics of all the 6 domains are taught, hosting hands-on workshops on various topics to introduce variety and diversity in our community, and to network and improve skills of the community through regular meetups and sessions.

Moving forward, we look to provide exciting opportunities for all our members by expanding to other universities, providing more project opportunities and organising more events like HackLoop, IdeaLoop and TechLoop to continuously engage our members. Further on, we aim on becoming a community of 1000+ members with more and more passionate individuals joining every month.
