Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship
The first-ever Google Developers CodeLabs in the country with all Google’s exotic design standards was established at Vasireddy Venkatadri Institute of Technology in the year 2018.Google Developers CodeLabs provides guided, tutorial and hands-on coding experience. The main goal of CodeLabs is to bring Industry Level exposure to students. Students take full advantage of this lab to gain hands-on experience of the Industry. The objective was maintained with various sessions and workshops which brought consistency in the development of real-time applications. It is also serving as an incentive for the host universities to be involved in the training program. This is a great platform for students as well as developers. Some of the best developer programs took place in this very CodeLabs are - The Nano-Degree Certification program from Udacity, with the support of APSSDC. CodeLabs started with Android Programming. This later continued with DT workshops, Front End Development, Hackathons by GitHub, Indo-Nordic Innovation Acceleration Cluster(INIAC) and NASA SpaceApps challenge.
The EWB(Engineers Without Borders) Student Wing of VVIT is with more than 120 students registering their names during the initial drive. The chapter's four cornerstones are societal welfare, leadership, competition, and bringing forth a deep-seated understanding towards valuing diverse opinions. The EWB will assist students in developing the empathy and industry-standard skills necessary to ensure a future of mutual growth. EWB works in over 68 countries and provides services to scholars from a variety of prestigious universities.
VVIT's Institute Innovation Council (IIC) was established with the vision of creating a world-class 'technology start-up ecosystem' by fostering entrepreneurship and a culture of innovation. This contributes to increased knowledge, wealth, and employment among students by supporting them in bringing their ideas to life. To date, college has supported nearly 10 startups.

We had design thinking challenges, speaker sessions that were lauded by the audience, fun activities, sessions by the fabs, career counsel panels, company visits and many more!
The first day witnessed ignites from two fellows including one from our very own campus fellow followed by speaker sessions by Mr. Venkat from APNRT and Abhay Rangan, UI Fellow and founder of plant-based dairy products company, Goodmylk. Followed by an Efftronics company visit where we have all learned about design thinking applications in technical aspects. Finally, the last day observed a few more ignites by FABs, career counsel panels by faculty champions and FABs about employment and start-up culture, and, speaker series by Mr. Shailesh Krishna from ITC, Guntur and Mr. Karayil Suresh, faculty champion at VVIT. The meet ended with a thunderous applause and a great photo session.
