Students from AIAT College have been interning at C3STREAM Land Designs for about two months. During this time, they have been learning not only software development but also gaining hands-on experience with hardware—understanding how systems work and how to troubleshoot them.
A problem occurred with one of the laptops in STEM Land: it couldn’t be opened because the top panel hinge had become tight and eventually broke.
Previously, we would either call a service technician or take the laptop to a service centre. Replacing the top panel typically costs around ₹4000 or more, depending on the laptop model.
However, one of the interns, Ranjith, came up with an idea to fix it using Araldite super glue, which costs around ₹70. With this, we were able to successfully repair the laptop, and it has been working well since.
Two weeks later, another laptop in STEM Land faced the same issue. We used the remaining glue from the previous repair and fixed it successfully as well.
This experience highlighted how mentorship, combined with learning from both, can help an organization see the bigger picture and solve problems at minimal cost.
