ITSP 2013 Mentors

[Ashima Mittal]

Hello everyone,

As you would be aware, Institute Technical Summer Projects (ITSP) was a huge success last year. It was a platform like never before for students to implement their ideas with the guidance of their seniors. It has almost single-handedly changed the Tech-culture of the institute for the better. This year, it is back, and it is going to be bigger, better and more fun filled. Mentorship is the back-bone ITSP and a strong mentor-ship program is of paramount importance for not only the success of ITSP, but also for the overall betterment of the technical activities in the institute. 

The STAB team calls upon all the students to be a part of this momentous program. You, as an ITSP Mentors endowed with the hands-on experience of participating in technical activities, would ensure that tech at IITB, moves to the next level. You would mentor freshmen and set into motion the transition to a new era where the IITians will realize the true meaning of technology in their life.
