Our history
Enrich to Empower
The Turing Club was founded on the principle of “technology for all”. The idea was simple: to bring cutting edge technology and education to students in an engaging and accessible way by introducing them to open source. The students and faculty who were at the forefront of the club focused on new age tech that is misunderstood and not entirely accessible to the public such as: ethical hacking, AI, and more. The club’s founders focused on developing core methodologies to be a club that puts its students first and foremost. All events, seminars, and activities organized would be done by, for, and with the students in mind. Seeing the inadequacies in their landscape, The Turing Club’s founders aimed to bridge the gap between the industry and its prospective students, and these principles still reside at the heart of The Turing Club’s goals today.
August 2021 - Foundation of TTC
TTC was established at Jain University on August 6, 2021, and is driven entirely by students. TTC began its journey with an inauguration with well-known technical advocates such as Jason Mayes (senior developer advocate at Google for TensorFlow) and Sangam Biradar (Technical Advocate at Tenable).
September 2021 - Engineer’s Day
The Turing Club celebrated Engineer’s Day, which is the birth anniversary of Sir M Visvesvaraya. The Turing Club organized festivities that included a tutorial of Git and GitHub and capped off with a treasure hunt activity that encouraged out-of-the-box thinking and cooperation to win the event.
October 2021 - TTC's First Tech Event - Turing Developer's Summit
The Turing Developer's Summit was a tech-focused event hosted by TTC; a chance to engage with industry leaders such as the Vice President of the Linux Foundation, Ibrahim Haddad, and EC Council Board Member Tapan Kumar Jha about concepts that developers will find extremely useful: an introduction to the vast world of Linux, and hacking with Kali.
December 2021 - The Open Source Workshop
The Turing Club has always been rooted in an idea of technology being free and open to everyone which is embodied in the idea of Open Source. In support of this The Turing Club organized a workshop to engage participants in open source technologies such as GitHub, TensorFlow, and Linux.
January 2022 - TTC's First Patnership
TTC has previously hosted events with industry leaders and hands-on workshops, but for the first time in January 2022, TTC partnered with Datacamp to provide certified courses, guided and unguided projects worth $399 for free.
