Extension Activity -SLCS Samaj Seva “Awareness Programme on Recent Technologies

On September 14, 2023, Mrs. N.P. Rajeswari, from the Department of Networking, along with a team of twenty students from the Networking Department, conducted an Extension Activity (SLCS Samaj Seva) for the students of De-Nobile Matriculation Higher Secondary School in K. Pudhur. The objective of this activity was to provide valuable information to the school students on several relevant topics. The discussion revolved around IoT, describing how it represents the network of physical objects embedded with sensors, software, and other technologies. These objects connect and exchange data with other devices and systems over the internet. Students were introduced to the concept of cloud computing, emphasizing how it enables businesses to harness the vast amount of data generated by IoT. The students were educated on ethical hacking, which involves using the same tools, tricks, and techniques that malicious hackers employ but with the permission of authorized individuals or organizations. A basic understanding of software piracy was provided. Software piracy was defined as the illegal use, copying, modification, distribution, sharing, or sale of computer software protected by copyright laws. The discussion clarified that anyone who intentionally or unintentionally commits these illegal acts can be considered a software pirate, and hacking skills are not required for such activities. This Extension Activity aimed to provide foundational knowledge to the school students in these areas, helping them to grasp essential concepts and principles. A total of 50 students from De-Nobile Matriculation Higher Secondary School benefited from this extension activity. It served as an opportunity for them to gain insights into emerging technologies and ethical considerations related to the digital world.
