KHMD Ignite 2016


“Every brand needs advertising. Even Apple creates advertisements.”

While the above statement wasn’t really spoken out loud by any KHMDite, it was, in essence, the sentiment that fostered Ignite. Ignite was an event held by KHMD on 9th and 10th August to inspire high-school students to join the community. 



But why would someone not interested in technology bother to join? Because technology caters to a myriad range of activities, from manga to music, sculpting to sketching, penning to photography… and what not. Because coding, hacking or making isn’t just reserved for the technologically inclined. It’s for everyone- ANYONE interested in making life simpler. Everyone has the capability to be producers of technology than just consumers.

It was this very thought that was carried across at Ignite. The 45-minute long event began, on both days, with an exciting trailer created by Rohan, Gagan, Suraj and Kishan for KHMD. The ‘cool’ effects used in it opened the spectators’ eyes to the wide usage of technology. 

    


First things first 


Aman then talked about the birth and purpose of KHMD. The birth? Simply put, when a group of tech-heads got together to become creators.  The purpose? To unite many others under a common interest, passion and love for technology. He spoke about how there exists an innate creativity and imagination in every person- and he or she just needs the freedom and support to create something useful and inspiring. Apart from talking about making and designing, he cleared misconceptions that many in the audience had about hacking. Hacking, he said, was for anyone with an interest to change something for the better. It's completely legal, he insisted.  Not the first time he's had to do that, though. 


NOT an FBI briefing session: Aman explaining what our hackers do
                               





"Did someone say pizza?" 

But was this event all talk or just showcasing videos? Certainly not. Next up was Suraj, who, using the MIT app inventor, developed a ‘Pizza App’. Through this app, users connected to the Internet could place their order for their preferred type of pizza and drink, and it would immediately be recorded in the database on the other end. This demonstration left the audience thinking about the varied possibilities (of technology, not food). 

The interface (some sly event promotion on the side is fine, right?) of the Pizza App

He also took the audience through  the code-  which, unlike expected, was not a long string of abbreviations and syntax, but an easy-to-follow, logical sequence of actions that did not require  mugging up said abbreviations and the differences between arbitrarily-used punctuation marks in coding.

Behind the screens (See what I did there?): The app's code


Some design magic 

Next up was Ish’s talk on design. He started off by explaining its importance, and spoke about how devices or experiences that cater to all the senses are usually the most desirable. Then he played a screen video of himself creating a sculpture of Frankenstein using ZBrush. He also gave many tips to the audience about design- for example, how overuse of a certain brilliant-design makes the creation unappealing (using Frankenstein’s scars as an example). This extremely realistic creation was a hit with the audience!

The minute details play pivotal roles. Ish explains how he recreated Frankenstein's scars. 

The result: Did Victor Frankenstein's creation look this good, though? 

                          
  To round it off, we had a preview of the new KHMD website, a video of eminent professionals talking about coding, and an enthralling music track by Kumarans EDM. This successful event certainly inspired many students to come forth and join KHMD, to learn, think, create and do, and above all-
Hack. Make. Design.

  5. Hello everyone, sharing this testimony is my greatest happiness also to let every patient know there is a cure to get rid of  HSV2. I was once a HSV2 patient  for a very long time. I have been taking medications because my doc in Canada told me there is no cure except pills to control it which i have been taking. Until I found a faithful and truthful herbalist who finally cured me with natural herbal  remedy. Everything about the virus was gone, my genital warts I have been trying to remove, they all cleared off. Here is the herbalist information to reach him via  droselumen@gmail.com or whatsapp contact +2348054265852 Dr Oselumen is great and very kind to every patient.

  6. I was infected with Genital Herpes Virus six months ago, ever since then i have been searching for cure everywhere because i was feeling so uncomfortable with it. I have been dating for almost 5 years until i contracted Genital Herpes from my ex-boyfriend. Since then i became very sad about the whole situation, always going online checking if i could get a cure to Genital Herpes, then i came across so many testimonies. Due to my seriousness and eagerness to be completely cured, i became a victim of fraud after contacting several so-called herbal doctors i was referred to. I lost a lot of money but i didn't stop searching for a cure. Then one faithful day, i came across a testimony of a lady saying that she got her Genital herpes cured by a Great Herbal Doctor she called Dr Ogudugu by contacting him through his email address. And she advised anyone with Genital Herpes or Simplex Herpes to contact the herbal doctor for Herbal Cure. I contemplated for about 4 hours whether or not to contact him. then something inside of me told me 'Nothing good comes easy'. I then contacted him through his email and told him my problem. He told me all the things I needed to do and also gave me instructions to follow, which i did properly. Just within weeks of drinking and applying the herbal medication he sent to me through dhl delivery service, i started seeing changes, i went to my medical doctor for check-up, i was so happy when the doctor told me i was no more having Genital Herpes Virus, it was all tears of Joy from that moment, People think herpes is really a minor skin irritation herpes has a long term effects on health and if i could ever meet a Genuinely Great Herbal Doctor. I'm so grateful to him. i am completely free from Genital Herpes Virus, i introduced a family friend who have Simplex Herpes virus to him, He called me and told me he was also cure completely. I promised to share my own testimony like that of the lady on the internet. Friends, if you are also struggling with Herpes disease you can as well Contact him via Email: greatogudugu@gmail.com
