Remap 1.0: A Journey of Passion, Innovation, and Learning ?? At Government Model Engineering College, we have numerous clubs, each with its flagship event. One of my dreams when I first joined was to lead a flagship event—not just any event, but the first edition of one. Thanks to Excel 2024, I was able to make that dream come true. For years, Excel lacked a flagship hardware event, and our team—the Excel GenTech team—changed that. When you bring together a group of ambitious individuals skilled in both technology and management, you create something entirely new. ?? Our goal: Deliver a high-quality, premium event with limited participation (50 attendees) so that everyone could truly learn, build, and connect. ?? What we did: Sessions on Attiny, Onshape by PTC , an overnight project-building session using Seeed Studio boards, and an Industrial Visit to Fablab Kerala. ?? Key people behind Remap 1.0: ? Rishikesh S , the GenTech head, for trusting us with this event. ? Anirudhan B (co-event manager) for his energy and drive that kept us going. ? Arjun Krishnan R & Uday Shankar Singh (Tech Heads) for training both the volunteers and students on Attiny, Seeed Studio boards, and Onshape by PTC and taking sessions on the same. ? Kerala Startup Mission & Fablab Kerala for hosting us and their inspiring sessions. A special mention to @Tom Thomas, COO of Kerala Startup Mission, for helping us arrange the Industrial Visit. ? MakerGram (Technical sponsor) and Salman Faris for providing Seeed Studio boards. ? Cognicor-AICTE IdeaLab for supporting 3D printing & PCB manufacturing. A big thank you to Sreeparvathy Nair , Shekhar M Menon , @Arif , and the entire Excel MEC team for their constant guidance and support. ?? ?? Financial Mastery: One of the biggest lessons we learned was financial management. We executed the entire event without any external financial sponsorship, ensuring high quality while breaking even. ?? Team Selection & Execution: We focused on the Pareto principle, selecting 14 exceptional volunteers who played an essential role in making Remap 1.0 a success. A huge shoutout to: Adithyan J , Arya VP , Amal Manoj C , Dennis Davis , Devika Vinod , Drishya Ajith , Eleena Sara Thomas , Eshaan Abdulkalam , Farza Siddique , Midhun U , Riza Fathima C K , Sharvin Karakkattayil , Shaheen Basheer , Vinaya Anil , and our tech mentor, Athul babu, for his fantastic session on the Seeed Studio camera module board. This event was an experiment, a challenge, and a massive success. The connections, experiences, and lessons I gained throughout this journey are truly invaluable. ?? This is just the beginning. See you at Remap 2.0! #Remap1.0 #HardwareEvent #Excel2024 #Leadership #Teamwork #Innovation #Learning #Passion

Visiting Kerala Startup Mission in India was an incredible experience! Seeing startups turn ideas into real products using industrial 3D printers, laser cutters, and high-tech machining tools was truly inspiring. From exploring their startup incubator to interacting with a fully functioning robot, I was amazed by how technology and entrepreneurship come together in such a dynamic space. The Fablab Kerala is packed with everything entrepreneurs need to prototype and scale, showing how the right infrastructure fuels innovation. Huge thanks to the Semester At Sea / ISE and Professor Chris Blocker for making this experience possible! Definitely one to remember!

?? I 3D printed a spanner to tighten loose nuts in my brain ?? This weekend, I had the amazing opportunity to attend a 3D Printing Workshop ??? by Fablab Kerala, hosted at the Kerala Literature Festival ??, right on the beautiful Calicut Beach ??. What an unforgettable experience! FabLab, an incredible initiative by Kerala Startup Mission ??, guided us through the process of designing ?? and 3D printing ??? our own creations. I ended up designing a spanner-shaped keychain ????—completely random, but fun nonetheless! When I showed it to my wife, she couldn’t stop laughing and joked: "Is this to tighten the loose screws in your head for running around like this? ????" Well, maybe it is! ?? Of course, I got asked quite a few times: "Why is a doctor here? ????" And my reply? "Why not? ??♂? You may never really know where learning can take you. ??" The potential of 3D printing in medicine ??, from creating prosthetics ?? to revolutionizing surgical planning ??, is limitless. The discussions I had with the brilliant minds behind FabLab were truly inspiring. Kudos to them for their passion, creativity, and hard work ???—initiatives like these are what help a nation grow and thrive! ?????? Let’s keep exploring, learning, and innovating because the future is filled with endless possibilities! ??
