BITS Embryo is an Institute body that aims to improve students' learning experience and exposure to various domains.
We, at BITS Embryo, believe in 'Borderless Classrooms & Bottomless Resources'.
We are an enthusiastic closely-knit group that is responsible for organising talks by distinguished professionals, in their respective fields, for the benefit of the students.
Embryo is a project to foster strong collaboration of BITS students and BITS faculty with the alumni and friends of BITS Pilani.
Through lecture series and collaborative projects, the students can get exposure to the cutting edge research areas.
They also get an opportunity to network with Alumni and friends of BITS, who are reputed academicians and industry leaders.
We aim to leverage BITSConnect to bring the alumni closer to the students and faculty. On Jan 9, 2013, BITSConnect 2.0 was inaugurated.
A multi-million dollar project which brings state of the art telepresence and interconnectivity to the campuses of BITS;
it provides Embryo the platform to conduct high-quality cross campus talks,
and to further enhance the remote learning experience that it has been providing across all the campuses for some time now.
Embryo aims to help students of BITS Pilani become Leaders, Innovators and Entrepreneurs of tomorrow.
We also invite and host the Chief Guests of OASIS and BOSM, the cultural and sports fest of BITS Pilani, respectively. Celebrities including Imtiaz Ali, S.S. Rajamouli, Shabbir Boxwala, Saharsh Kumar Shukla, Yogeshwar Dutt, Tigmanshu Dhulia, Tania Sachdev, Jitu Rai and many others have been hosted in the past.
We had pre-BOSM Instagram Live Sessions with Komalika Bari and Atanu Das & Deepika Kumari.
During the 50th Edition of Oasis, we also hosted The Tabla Guy as an opening act during the EDM Nite Prof Show.
Embryo is a forum for on-line, live and interactive lectures, run by students and faculties of BITS-Pilani. It was conceived and initiated by a group of 6 BITS Pilani Alumni in the Silicon Valley in 2006 with an aim to transform classroom education.
Since February, 2006, more than 200 lectures have been successfully conducted in areas as wide ranging as Entrepreneurship, Black Holes, Solar Cells, Science of Smell, Naxalism, Rain water harvesting,Storage Networks, PSOCs, Process Control.
In August 2010, Embryo 2.0 was launched. Since then we have conducted a series of lectures. The lecturer works closely with the course faculty and in a few cases, the lecture content is subject to evaluative components. The knowledge of the alumni has thus become an integral part of the BITS curriculum.
Enrich the learning experience at BITS Pilani.
To make the academic and industrial experience of the BITS alumni accessible to on-campus students through lectures, collaborative research projects, and exposure to current research trends around the world.
Although there is no alternative to 'in person' classroom teaching, any University in the world is limited by its on-campus human resources and available expertise. Often, a lecture or two in the right area by the right person can change the course of one's career. Embryo proposes to free education from the barriers of distance, time and human resources. Leveraging web-based technologies, Embryo acts as a bridge between the knowledge seekers (students), and the potential speakers. Such a powerful method truly realizes the dream of border less classrooms and bottomless learning resources.
With the advent of BITS Connect2.0 , we now have state of the art telepresence solutions across all campuses thus making the experience even richer.
