FAQ

Questions, answered

Who can attend Open Saturday?

Any college student in Hyderabad, from any college, branch and year. It's open to everyone, and you don't have to be a Codegnan student.

Is it really free?

Yes. Registration and attendance are free. You just need to reserve a seat because spaces are limited.

Do I need any prior experience?

No. Each Saturday is tagged Beginner, Intermediate or All levels, so you can pick the ones that fit you. Beginner topics start from zero.

What should I bring?

Your laptop and charger, and your college ID card. If you don't have a laptop, untick the laptop box when you register and we'll try to arrange one.

Is it the same topic every week?

No. The topic changes every Saturday: web development, Python, Generative AI, AI agents, Git, data analytics, cloud and cybersecurity. You can attend as many Saturdays as you like.

What will I leave with?

A working project built by you, ideally pushed to your own GitHub, plus a participation certificate and a network of other students and mentors.

I registered but can't make it. What should I do?

Reply to your confirmation email or message us on WhatsApp so we can give your seat to someone else. You're welcome to register for another Saturday.

Can my college, club or friends attend as a group?

Absolutely. Each person registers individually. If you'd like Codegnan to run a dedicated workshop, bootcamp or hackathon on your own campus, visit labs.codegnan.com.
