Srinivasan Managing Director, Kengs India Pvt Ltd, Chennai on Monday, 28th Nov 2016 at 6.00 p.m. at Seminar Hall, CSI Education Directorate, Taramani, Chennai – 600113 (Situated in the opposite lane to Indira Nagar MRTS Railway Station.

Sakthivel, Chairman, IEEE CS Madras Chapter Mr. H.R. Mohan, Chairman, IEEE PCS Madras Chapter Mr. S. Sundaresh, Chairman, IEEE TEMS Madras Chapter Programme ========= 6.00 p.m. : Tea & Fellowship 6.30 p.m. : Presentation cum demo 7.45 p.m. : Dinner About the Presentation ================== Even though the PC and its variations are there for more than three decades, the school classrooms are yet to see technology being used by teachers. The so-called Smart-Class and Smart-Board gadgets have not provided solutions to teachers, because of the complexity of devices, cost, skills required, security, operational issues, power problems, content issues etc., to name a few. First a software approach that is teacher-friendly has to be designed for teachers to create their own content and then a system for teachers to exchange/sell their content is needed. This was done with the funding from Govt of India as an innovator thru VIT Incubation Centre. Then a device at an affordable cost has to be designed and made available to present these contents in a classroom. The above two are combined into an intuitive teaching solution that can operate on a battery, with teachers using a remote to go through the teacher guide or book to teach in a classroom without any need to write/draw many times across classes over a period. The speaker, in the presentation, will share his experience in conceptualizing and executing this project and getting investors to fund. About the Speaker =============== Mr. Srinivasan is an alumnus of College of Engineering, Guindy (BE, ECE) and Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore (ME). After his stint in IT industry working with leading organizations such as TCS, TBL, IDM and CMC for over a decade, in 1986, he started and runs successfully till date, his own business -- Kengs India Pvt Ltd – a global leader in software engineering for education, services and outsourcing solutions. He had worked for few years in US Coast Guard, and on projects in UAE, Yemen, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Japan. And had visited countries such as Mexico, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Switzerland, Korea, Taiwan on assignments and business. In his career and business, Mr. Srinivasan has worked from unit recorder -- IBM 1620 to latest Android applications.
