We are incredibly thrilled to wrap up another successful edition of our flagship event, "Excel Your Way 2.0". This multi-day initiative was designed to take students from basic spreadsheet navigation to advanced data mastery, combining intensive online workshops with a rigorous final competition.
Here is a look back at the incredible journey, our expert instructors, and the brilliant minds who claimed the top spots.
Workshop 1: Building the Foundation
The event kicked off with a highly effective inaugural workshop led by Mr. Rafat Rahman, CSCA™, Lecturer in the Department of Mechanical and Production Engineering (MPE) at AUST.
His session laid the crucial groundwork for our participants, ensuring everyone had a firm grasp of essential Excel functionalities. We want to express our deep gratitude to Mr. Rahman for dedicating his time and delivering such an engaging and interactive session.
Workshop 2: Advanced Usage and Real-World Application
For the second and final workshop, we shifted gears into the "Advanced Usage" of MS Excel. We were honored to welcome back one of our own, Mr. Md. Shoaib Ullash (B.Sc. in IPE, 11th Batch), who is currently a Demand Planner at Food Panda Bangladesh Ltd.
Drawing from his corporate experience, Mr. Ullash guided the attendees through complex functions, data modeling, and the kind of advanced spreadsheet utilization required in today's fast-paced industries. Thank you, Mr. Ullash, for a highly useful and practical session!
