GSA – Outreach, 12th April 2014
Gautam Buddha University
(Non GSA Campus)
This event entails sessions on 5 different Google products (i.e GSA
Program, Google Drive, YouTube Monetization , Power of Search with Google,
Google+) to help familiarize the student body with the plethora of resources
available. Each speaker will present his/her product by means of an informal
and interactive session and will be aided by a series of informative
presentations and Hands on sessions.
Overall objective of the event:
The event aims at providing the students a deeper understanding of
Google Technology that would help enhance their productivity and use of
resources. Once we have whetted their appetite for more details, we plan to use
their feedback to chalk out our subsequent events.
Moreover our vision was to interact with the students of non GSA campus
and discuss the problems they are facing without Google Apps being embedded in
their campus.
Highlights of success:
Around 250 students gained knowledge regarding Google Technologies
including Sessions of:
-GSA Program by Pranshoo Srivastava;
-Power of Search with Google by Kunal Sapra;
-Google Drive by Pranshu Srivastava;
-Google+ by Manoj Bingi;
-YouTube Monetisation by Kriti Pandey;
-YouTube Case Study of Monetised Videos by GSAs (Pranshu and Naman):

Students really shown their interest for upcoming GSA Program and every
student including faculty shown their interest for the same and we discussed
about future opportunities for a campus also when there is a GSA(including
(apps)technology implementation ,etc.)
After the session in the ending ceremony GBU event organisers greeted us
with mementos, that was so nice as their enthusiasm and excitement to have an
GSA outreach program in their campus was glittering on their faces.
It was really a worth full Event in a NON GSA CAMPUS.
Feedback from Attendees:
- The students liked the way of immediately
follow ups conducted post informative sessions by GSAs.
- They told their doubts very readily cleared by
us.
- They were really excited by watching the
videos of Google products and awed by the technical advancements made by
Google.
Logistics/Planning:
Individual tasks were divided among the GSAs. Sessions were assigned to
GSAs based on the Google product in which they are expert. An Audi was
booked in GAUTAM BUDDHA UNIVERSITY to conduct the event. Projectors and
Internet system were available at the venue.
Whole event at the campus level was organised by GBU Students who
communicated me and other GSAs, asked about the logistics needed.
Key learning:
- We really enjoyed organising the
event and I am happy that GSA-Delhi are working in a team and organizing
events.
- This was a Non GSA campus so our
experience was bit different, here we have to make them understand about
each of the confusions thei might have w.r.t. Google.
- Publicity needs to be taken care as we
ultimately ended up spreading the word about event to limited set of
people(only GBU students attended the event).
Follow-up actions:
- A feedback form sent to all the participants.
- We will be working with participants to help
them out to in case they find any difficulty in implementing their
leanings from event.
