Who we are
An open platform for talented individuals to work together and develop new ideas, despite the differences in their fields of education, with the unique idea of an antidisciplinary environment. We aim to bridge the gaps between traditional disciplines and intend to encourage its participants to solve local and community-specific problems!
What we did so far
KolpoKoushol is about people and the synergy they produce amongst them. We welcomed people from all disciplines, from tech and design to law and journalism, from fine arts to gender studies - the student researchers from KolpoKoushol went ahead to solve local infrastructure and discrimination issues, such as AI-powered visual search engines for laws, detecting and fighting hidden gender discrimination in TV media and newspapers, etc.
Students from KolpoKoushol Research have already published in top machine learning conferences like NeurIPS.

What are we upto this year?
This year we're planning to bring together domain experts from the fields of design and tech, food, music and arts for a 4 to 5-day event where they will work together with engineering students and professionals to build innovative projects!
We aim to (re)invent how music instruments are made, played and interacted with design and tech
We aim to push the boundaries in the intersection of design and tech with exciting experiments
We aim to explore the possibilities where advanced engineering and tech meets food and nutrition
But I have more questions!
How do I apply?
There's an Apply Now button on the site which will redirect you to a Google Form. Read thoroughly, take your time and fill in the questions!
When do you plan to launch this workshop?
We plan to take this year's event to stage on October 13th, Friday and wrap it up by an open demo day on October 16th, Monday.
What's an open demo day?
The open demo day is an event open to the public where demos will be showcased. Other than demos, there may be a food festival (where engineered food can be tasted) and a small concert (where music will be performed using the unique musical instruments built during the workshop)!
Do we have to stay in the venue all of the days?
The required hours are from 10am to 4pm on all the event days, but we'll provide technical support and mentoring for extended hours to those who'd like to stay a bit longer to get their demos done!
