Abstract
In this paper, we discuss the role of summer and winter workshops conducted during vacations in student learning. This is a story of conducting summer and winter workshops, which lead to two student's start-ups. The main goal of the workshop is to make students learn the basics of image processing (IP), computer vision (CV) and computer graphics (CG), so that students are ready to take up real time projects. The workshop is conducted in two phases, two weeks of conceptual learning with hands-on experience with tools, and four weeks of project phase. We observe this workshop is effective in learning the course beyond classroom teaching, as they explore the literature for state of art and design alternative solutions for the real time problems. Summer workshops are conducted during June- July and around 600 students are trained with the help of nine workshops till date.
