The AIORI-2 student workshop was conducted on September 01, 2025 in the Department of Electronics and Computer Science, led by Dr. Mansi Subhedar.

The aim was to help students learn about how the Internet works, how to measure its performance, and how to get involved in creating global Internet standards. This workshop is part of AIORI’s mission to make India a strong contributor in global Internet development.

Students learned the basics of Internet systems, networking, and tools like PING, Traceroute, and DNS lookups. They also used the AIORI mobile app and platform to test Internet performance and understand protocol behavior. A special hackathon introduced students to international working groups like IETF, encouraging them to start thinking about real-world Internet problems and solutions.

The workshop was well-received, with students showing great interest in continuing their learning. Many shared ideas for future projects and were inspired to explore research and global collaboration. Overall, the event gave students useful skills, practical experience, and a strong push toward active participation in building a better Internet.
