About ACM
As the official student chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery at VIT Vellore, we've been pushing boundaries and challenging conventions since 2009. From research and development to open-source contributions and unorthodox events, we turn ideas into real-world impact. We don't just write code; we ask questions, build with purpose, and learn together. With a culture built on trust and innovation, we're here to build tools, solve problems, and grow as a community: because technology, at its best, brings people together.
Break things, fix things,
and build things
Bring your ideas, your laptop, and maybe some snacks. Code2Create is an adventure to experiment, learn from others, and see what you can make when you just try.
