About CODEX for STEAM 2024

Coding in STEAM 2024 is a two-level event in which KYSM students will be showing their talent in coding and STEAM, by exhibiting their computer programming projects related to STEAM.

There will be a preliminary round and the final round in which only the selected good projects will be displayed in the exhibition. It gives an opportunity for the students to exhibit their coding skills and STEAM developed during their formal classes. The exhibition format is inspired by the university style of Final Year Project presentation. The best selected students will be exhibiting their project either in hardware or software forms to be judged and assessed by the judging panel. Prizes will be given to the best projects according to the respective categories.
