Campus Activities

Code.Fun.Do / Code.Fun.Do++

Main article: Code.Fun.Do

Code.Fun.Do is a Microsoft sponsored hackathon, organized by CodeClub, IIT Kharagpur, requiring student teams to come up with an hacked application prototype in 24 hours. The complete program is spread over the entire weekend involving workshops, coding, and demos followed by results and prize distribution. Winners usually take away exciting Microsoft products (Nokia Lumia, for example) while t-shirts and participation certificates are awarded to all teams who give the demo.

In Autumn 2018, CodeFunDo++ was organised. Students had to come up with ideas on the given problem statement. The selected ideas had to be remotely worked on. Of the successful submissions, 5 teams qualified to the next stage.

CodeNites

CodeClub organizes fortnightly coding contests to promote a culture of competitive programming on campus, in collaboration with HackerRank for the student community at IIT Kharagpur. The problems for these contests are usually set by fourth and fifth year students from the Computer Science Department. Participating programmers from campus have their submissions scored on the basis of the accuracy of their output and the execution time of their solution. Programmers are then ranked and win prizes based on their accomplishments, to drive competition among users.

Fresher's Event

At the beginning of each academic year, CodeClub hosts a Fresher's event to introduce computer science freshmen to the department. This event includes a cultural show with acts, plays, dances etc. put up by students in their first year of study. The annual event acquaints freshmen to the resources and opportunities available to them, along with helping them build relations with other students from the Computer Science Department.

Bitwise

Main article: Bitwise

Bitwise is an annual programming, application and web development fest organised by CodeClub, the CSE Department Society of IIT Kharagpur over three days in the 2nd week of March. With huge support from the Department of CSE, the Bitwise team works intensely and enthusiastically to bring out the best workshops, guest lectures, and events centered around the most trending topics of Computer Science. The last iteration, Bitwise 2015, was held from March 13 to March 15, 2015. Prizes worth close to ₹ 200,000 were distributed.

SSD was the title sponsor for Bitwise 2015, and Xerox, its associate sponsor, with HackerRank slated to be the coding partner.

Computer Science Workshops

CodeClub organizes workshops and knowledge sessions on various computer science topics and programming languages. These sessions are open to students from all years of study across departments and fields, and have upperclassmen sharing their knowledge and experience on the various topics of the workshop. Classes on Python Programming and the Divide & Conquer Paradigm have been held in the Autumn 2015 semester.

UpAI Summit 2018

Up AI Summit 2018 was organised by Code Club, IIT Kharagpur in the first week of October. It started with an open for all boot camp workshop. had various talks, workshops and challenges / competitions on the budding fields of Machine Learning / Deep Learning. on this 2.5 days summit.
