CPxCEDT Openhouse 2025

1. The Background & Community Objectives

The CPxCEDT Openhouse at Chulalongkorn University was organized to introduce high school students to the Computer Engineering and Digital Technology curriculum. The initiative aimed to demystify computer engineering through approachable, hands-on workshops, giving prospective applicants a clear understanding of computational foundations.

2. Mentorship Approach & Operational Execution

As workshop staff, I took charge of the session teaching fundamental number systems and radix conversion, helping students grasp how computing hardware represents and manipulates binary, decimal, and hexadecimal data.

• Interactive Instruction: Designed and delivered engaging explanations breaking down binary-to-decimal and hexadecimal conversions into clear, intuitive steps.
• Hands-on Mentoring: Guided students through interactive problem-solving exercises, addressing questions and ensuring no student was left behind.
• Session Coordination: Collaborated with fellow team members to ensure smooth classroom pacing, time management, and equipment readiness throughout the day.

Key Leadership Takeaway

"Stepping up to present technical concepts to a room of aspiring students challenged my initial hesitations around public speaking, proving that empathy and structured explanation can make foundational computer science intuitive and exciting."

3. Results, Impact & Leadership Growth

The workshop received enthusiastic feedback from attendees who gained a clear introduction to digital systems. Personally, this experience served as a major milestone in developing my public speaking confidence and refining my ability to translate complex technical principles into accessible, inspiring lessons.
