Through these endeavours, ME-RIISE has successfully supported in bringing out eight innovative prototypes and created nine new applications.

As a step towards further expanding its reach and enhancing its impact, ME-RIISE has set up a distinct entity, a Section 8 company, ME-RIISE FOUNDATION promoted by Malnad College of Engineering in September, 2022. This Section 8 company is composed of 5 Directors and 2 Advisors. ME-RIISE FOUNDATION is committed to promote innovation, incubation, start-ups, and entrepreneurship in the region and expand its reach, enabling students/ youth and aspiring entrepreneurs to realize their potential and contribute towards the growth of the economy. ME-RIISE FOUNDATION is committed to build upon the legacy of innovative activities established by ME-RIISE and further expanding its scope.

Testimonials

Being a part of techkids is itself only a pro thing. I took part in both automobile workshop and winter internship, it was awesome to be there. My mentor in both sessions was Shashank H P. It was almost a bliss to have him as a mentor, be it the teaching or hand in experience, he did the best. The sessions were best, he used to tell us everything regarding subject and dealing with issues which may occur in learning it. The best part was that we weren't feeling it as a class, but as a discussion between friends about a topic and he made us feel that way. In automobile workshop, we had a typical internship feel. For explanation, he would bring all the parts, we were supposed to see it and make reports of it. In the end we had a great hand in experience day at automobile workshop. On that day we disembeled engine parts and re arranged it in same way. He told his experience and that inspired us to do something out of the box. He told us ways about how can we shape our future according to our needs and deeds. The next session was about coding. He knew about our situation as fresher, for me personally, I didn't know anything about coding. So he taught us about everything from the scratch. From no knowledge about coding to do a project based on coding was a great success for us. He was all supportive all along. He gave us a great tool kit and greater knowledge. The first day started with an open Introduction of ourselves in a fun way, so that we feel comfortable. From coding to bug solving to soldering to product design he made us do it all. We even did field trip for our project in a blind school, the confidence we gained were visible. He also told ways to interact using linkedin and made it sorted for us. It may feel as I amexagerrating, but it is what it is, he made it easy for engineering and after. I wish I had got more time with techkids and this amazing caring mentor Shashank anna. Even admist of his busy life he made time to help others, it's so great of him. At the end of internship he made sure that we present our projects in front of faculty, so that we get 100% of it. And it all went well. And I must say 90% of the confidence I have today is because of workshops. Thank you so much anna for everything!!..

As part of techkids ' intern I couldn't feel anything less than awesome. The whole setup was so enthusiastic and informative. Side by side it was fun too. Each day we were getting new things to learn and use. Even though we were dealing with very new concepts wrt us,we didn't feel any difficulty in learning it. And all the credit goes to our mentor Shashank HP. The whole intership was like a mission. Our mentor helped us to overcome our fears and made it as our plus points . He wasn't leaving any stones untouched. He would put us to do all things we were supposed to do in future days. For someone who didn't know how to coding,doing a whole new project was unbelievable. He made sure that we do it with all our hearts. His tutoring was so simple, even beginners can get it all. He gave personal space for each one of us to learn at our own phase. Daily reports, hand in experience, the data collection solving the problem statement, logically thinking of a sustainable solution, discussions,amendment of our project plan,coding and finally presentation. It was huge and he made it feel so easy. He was there until end and we couldn't thank him enough. As a person too, he was very friendly and caring ,he didn't judge us even if we lack at doing something, inspite of it he taught us more . He used to guide us about everything be it academics or anything else. He was there all along. Even if we can accomplish half of the things we have got to learn in this internship. It's worth it. Finally I want to thank shashank anna for all things he has given us. Even in his final year of engineering, he sought a way to show some light to fellow juniors. I did a project on smart blind stick in my second workshop with his guidance. Thank u anna for everything.

Testimonials

"I'm Shashikumar. I have attended the sessions of C programming and internship of IOT and App development in Tech@10. The whole idea of Tech@10 is very new. They charge only Rs 10 per session which is cheap. It is useful for most of the students. We had a subject regarding C in our 2nd semester. So those sessions helped me alot to understand C programming very well. The concept of IOT was new to me and tech@10 made me understand very easily. The way they teach will be very approaching. They make the topics very clear by giving examples, slides and many more. My personal suggestion is attend 1 session, then definitely you are going to attend every sessions. "
