28th October was selected as the day for the seminar in
badulla district. The venue was Ella Maha Vidyalaya. Ten students from
CSE 10' batch gathered early in the morning after an exhausting trip
from Moratuwa to Bandarawela. After refreshing up at Nilupuls place we
headed out on our way to Ella. The students who participated in this
great experience was Tharindu Amila, Sameera Nilupul, Nisala Chameera,
Ujitha Iroshan, Chathura Gamage, Chamila Dilshan, Dulanga Shashika,
Nadeeshan Gunathilaka , Maduranga Sirivardana , Nipun Udara.
We arrived at Ella Madya Maha Vidyalaya at around 8.30am. The Regional Assistant Director of Education of Information Technology Mrs. Namalee was already there and she had gathered the students and set up everything we needed to conduct our seminar. There were about 100 students from several schools. Ella Madya Maha vidyalaya, Heeloya Maha Vidyalaya, Kithal Ella Vidyalaya were among them.
After the welcome speech by Mrs Namalee we started our seminar. First to go was Ujitha who explained CSE OutReach and its motives. Then Chathura went on to the stage to explain what Information Technology is. Then Nadeeshan did his part by teaching the students about Microsoft Office package. At 12.00 we had the lunch break. Explanations by Chamila on digital logic was very successful and the students were actively participating. Hard ware part was covered by Dulanga. We gave out three prizes which were books on O/L IT. One by one we went through our programme but we had to lose some of our eager listeners because of transportation problems. Chameera did the end speech and gave the students food for their thoughts and made them create a dream to achive the best. How ever we went on and concluded our seminar at 2.00pm cutting short some of the presentations.
After the programme we got feedback from the students and
teachers and we had many positive thoughts as well as requests to
expand CSE OutReach to a series of Seminars rather than an annual one
seminar. They were very grateful and promised to help in the future to
conduct more seminars.
