SPACE conducted a two day workshop on ICT and New Media for NGOs on 29-30 October 2010 at Thiruvananthapuram. The workshop was organised with the cooperation of KAVAL, a network of NGOs in Kerala. Members from 12 organisations participated in the workshop.
SPACE will organise a two day workshop on ICT and New Media for civil society organisations (CSOs) in Kerala from March 5 2010. The workshop aims to enable CSOs to leverage their activities with the use of ICT and New Media tools. Venue: Christ Nagar School, Kowdiar, Thiruvananthapuram.
A three-day workshop on LaTeX and Scilab will be held at UC College, Aluva from 25 February 2010. The workshop is jointly organised by IIT Bombay, SPACE, Thiruvananthapuram and Bhaskaracharya Prathisthana Institute, Pune.
The workshop will consist of lectures and hands-on sessions in LaTeX and Scilab. LaTeX is a document preparation system that can produce good-looking documents without much difficulty, especially technical documents that contain equations. Its popularity is increasing in Kerala, and it is now part of the Mathematics curriculum of Calicut University.
The two day workshop focuses on the python programming language and its applications to science education, scientific research and scientific computing.
Scientific research, especially in computationally intensive areas, typically requires a good grasp of the domain (science/engineering) and a solid computer programming background. Given this context, we illustrate why it is important for scientists and engineers to learn a powerful, Free/Open Source Software, general purpose, scripting language and how Python fits this role very well.
Venue : Institute of Engineering and Technology, University of Calicut, Kohinoor, Thenhipalam P.O, Malappuram-673636.
