Participating in Gracehopper celebration of Women in Computing

Being a Microsoft Student Partners, I got invitation to participate in Gracehopper celebration of Women in Computing. I got excited to participate after going into details of the program. But my hectic schedule was not permitting me to take part. I somehow managed with my time and made my mind to participate in poster designing. From long time I had an idea of a research paper in my mind, so I thought it would be best time to implement it. After one week of research and hard work amidst my Gre exam and Amazon interview, I finally completed my two page abstract on "Environmental Educational Game" based on the design of Gombli (Imagine Cup Game Designing Competition 2010).Thanks to Dr. Gautam Paul (Jadavpur University), he reviewed my paper and help me to rectify my mistakes. Contribution from my team mate Shubhajit in designing Gombli was no less.

I realized that research on environmental problems can bring significant changes in us.It make us more sensible in terms of saving energy, planting more trees and realizing major problems of our environment. Now a days before wasting a glass of water I feel it can save life of so many who don't have access to clean water. I stopped using plastic bags unnecessarily unless it is required much. Recycling became my favorite. "If we don't recycle today the earth will definately recycle us tomorrow".

Once I win the competition I will proudly say "I am a Technical women". Wish me good luck. :) :\ :)

Atooms to Moolecules

I and Shubhajit had been working for a secret project, which is submitted to IGF this year. My contribution was Level Designing and Game Concept. I love the concept as I always wanted to see Atoms coming alive out of my textbook. The name of the game suggests that you have to make Moolecules using Atooms. Yes but the interesting part of the game is Lab Setup (still working on), where you can have your lab equipments and lots of Atooms to play around. Here is just the trailer of the game, have a look and if you really like it then please leave a comment and "wish me luck". You can check out the first prototype of the game Moolecules , submitted for Experimental Gameplay Project theme Two Months of CASUAL ADDICTION .
