Microsoft’s ‘Oneweek’ throws up student kits

Students can click a picture of a flower, leaf or tree to get information on what they are looking at, through an educational application called Treefinder.
Better still, they can identify the use of foreign languages and references that they may come across in a book or online platforms, through Curiosity Cat, while StudyBuddy aids learning by recording, narrating and displaying lessons to students.
These are some of the innovative applications Microsoft employees have come up with for students in a week-long ‘Oneweek’ hackathon, held across 114 countries between July 28 and 31, the biggest in the company’s history.
‘Oneweek’ was described by Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella as an effort to reinvent the way the company does business and encourage the rise of brilliant ideas regardless of its origins.
“Large-scale hackathons such as these foster an environment where new energy and a brand new direction for the company is encouraged and celebrated,” says Rohit Thakur, head of HR for Microsoft in India.
The hackathons also enable employees to make a real impact on communities and discover how Microsoft is reinventing its productivity offerings and platforms for the mobile-first and cloud-first world, he adds.
This year’s hackathon was open to all employees and interns in engineering and non-engineering divisions, with over 5,000 employees registered worldwide, over 1,100 hacks, representing more than 60 countries.
In India, hackathons were conducted across Bangalore, Gurgaon, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai, New Delhi and Pune, and over 2,300 employees registered to participate, creating over 750 project ideas.
