The Department of Computer Science, under the TechTrendz Club, organized an engaging project orientation session titled “CodePlay Expo: Turning Code into Playable Magic” on 3rd April 2025 in Classroom S-204 from 8:15 AM to 9:15 AM.
The primary objective of the event was to introduce first-year BCA students to the creative and practical side of programming using advanced JavaScript, along with HTML and CSS. A total of 28 students (13 males, 15 females) showcased their self-developed browser-based games, while 40 students (19 males, 21 females) attended the expo as visitors. The event featured a variety of interactive games, including
Whack-a-Mole, Tilting Maze, Sudoku, Hangman, Flappy Bird, Color Guess Game, Bricks Breaker, Snake Game, Catching the Ball, Ludo, Tetris, Memory Matching Game, and Rock-Paper-Scissors. These student projects not only demonstrated technical proficiency but also highlighted creativity and enthusiasm for problem-solving. Each presentation included an explanation of the game logic, user interface design, and the specific JavaScript concepts applied. The session offered first-year students’ valuable insights into how programming knowledge can be practically applied to create enjoyable and functional projects.
The CodePlay Expo successfully created an inspiring and interactive learning environment. It enabled junior students to visualize the vast potential of JavaScript beyond classroom theory and motivated them to explore web development more proactively. The Department aims to continue organizing similar hands-on, student-driven events to promote innovation and peer learning among Computer Science students.
Expected Outcomes of the Activity
The activity enabled students to gain a deeper understanding of how JavaScript can be used to build interactive and dynamic web applications. The real-time demonstration of browser-based games sparked curiosity among FYBCA students and inspired them to explore HTML, CSS, and JavaScript more enthusiastically. The event also helped the student demonstrators enhance their technical communication and presentation skills as they confidently explained the logic and implementation of their games. Moreover, the CodePlay Expo promoted a collaborative learning culture by encouraging senior students to guide and mentor their juniors, thereby fostering teamwork and knowledge sharing. Overall, the expo served as a strong foundation for students to take on more complex and innovative projects in the future.
