Mangalore Institute of Technology & Engineering (MITE), in collaboration with Ananya Foundation and supported by Oracle Volunteering, organized a one-day hands-on workshop on “AI Coding with Natural Language – NLD” on 23rd April 2026, marking the occasion of Girls in ICT Day. The workshop aimed to promote inclusive and skill-based technological learning among female students and witnessed active participation from sixth-semester girl students from CSE and allied branches.
The resource persons for the session were Ms. Nivedita Bhat and Ms. Vidisha Shet, Staff Solution Engineers at Oracle Solution Engineering Hub. Ms. Nivedita Bhat holds a BTech in Computer Science and Engineering has expertise in Analytics, Data Science, Machine Learning, and Generative AI. Ms. Vidisha Shet holds a BTech, and MTech with specialization in AI/ML, cloud technologies, Oracle APEX, and scalable application development. Their strong industry experience enabled them to deliver a practical, application-oriented session aligned with current technological trends.
The session introduced Artificial Intelligence, Generative AI, and Agentic AI, providing students with a strong conceptual foundation. A key highlight of the workshop was the concept of “Vibe Coding”, where students learnt to develop applications using natural language prompts with the support of AI tools. The hands-on session guided participants in setting up Visual Studio Code and using GitHub Copilot for AI-assisted programming. Students were trained to create projects, write and modify code, integrate extensions, and execute applications using natural language-based instructions. The workshop also covered core aspects of building AI-powered applications, including user input processing, intent understanding, and generating meaningful outputs, supported by relevant real-world use cases.
The event was organized as part of a CSR initiative to empower young women through digital skills and reduce the gender gap in technology. The session was highly interactive and well-received, with students appreciating the clarity of instruction and practical exposure to emerging AI tools. The workshop successfully enhanced participants’ understanding of AI-driven development and encouraged them to explore advanced learning and career opportunities in the field. Overall, the program reflected MITE’s commitment to fostering innovation, inclusivity, and future-ready technical competencies among students.
