Exun e-Lite 2018 Learning Resources
Exun Clan will soon hold e-Lite, our annual recruitment test, open to anyone from classes 6–11 (and to exceptional students from class 12).
This year, rather than having a separate recruitment test for each discipline (quizzing, programming, creative, and group discussion), we’re going to integrate the induction process. Although the final details of the recruitment process are still being worked out, our aim with e-Lite this year is to induct people who are passionate about technology and are willing to learn skills beyond those for which they are inducted. We want people who yearn to learn, and can pick up new skills quickly.
In this post, we’ve provided some learning resources (blog posts, tutorials & docs) that you can use to learn new skills in preparation for e-Lite. Go over the docs for the skills and see what you like. We encourage you to pick up as many skills as you can.
Before you go through the following resources, read this doc on how to learn.
Quizzing
If you have a good memory and a creative mind, then quizzing is for you. Here’s a doc explaining what quizzing is all about.
Programming
Programmers use code to solve problems. Here’s a doc with sample problems and some resources to get started.
The Web & Development
This involves code that runs awesome web applications like Google & Facebook, as well as mobile development. Here’s a doc to get you started.
Design
Do you love tweaking pixels in Sketch or Illustrator, or spend hours every day poring over Dribbble or Behance? Then design might just be for you. This doc will walk you through what it is designers do.
3D Design
3D Design involves making three-dimensional models of the world to express a vision. This doc will guide you through it.
Hardware
The hardware division explores what makes our machines tick. This doc will tell you all you need to know about hardware.
Group Discussion
The people involved in group discussion form the voice of Exun. Read through this doc to find out what the skill entails.
Game Development
Want to learn game development? This doc has some great resources to get you started.
There’s also other more advanced skills you can learn, like Machine Learning (warning: requires a lot of high-level mathematics & programming knowledge), but it’s not necessary to learn these for e-Lite. Do them if you have time and are interested, though.
