The targeted audience of the program were Second year CSBS students. Mr. S. S Naveen from same class was the resource person for the event. Mr. Naveen is learning web technologies by own for the past few months, apart from his curriculam due to his enthusiasm.
The main aim of this session was to make the students aware of why React and ES6 are dominating over the traditional HTML, CSS and Javascript.

He explained about the arrow function that we regularly using in React with suitable examples. The different ways of including styles using CSS was described during the class which will be helpful for their lab. By live coding, he has showed how easy the coding will be, if we are using ES6 extension.
At the end, he has displayed a miniporject of a game, Black Jack which is like a gambling game. He has shared his Github repository to students so that they can later refer it. The below figure shows the interface of the game that he created.
