KARACHI: The diverse fields being chosen by today's youth for their future profession will augur well Pakistan. The students of Aptech Computer Education are a great example of the youth developing an interest in software and programming.

With a motto to promote such diversity in education, an annual event, 'Vision', was organised by Aptech Computer Education's North Nazimabad centre on Saturday, where a 100 student-made projects were exhibited.



The various projects prepared by the students included, mobile applications, websites and desktop software, among others.

Youngsters gathered around a desktop computer, questioning students Ziauddin Qureshi and Shoaib Hafeez about 'PlayTime', an android game application built by the two students that was a shooting game similar to the popular game, Counter Strike.

"I only learnt programming at the institute, whereas, I learnt other software used in game-development from the internet," said Hafeez, adding that Aptech has created a good learning base for them [the students] and they can enhance their abilities by learning from various internet websites.

Another project at the exhibit was 'Online Taxi', a website built by Shahzaib Shahid and Ahmed Siddiqui. With an increasing requirement of transport, we thought of developing something that will provide people an easier access to public transport, explained Shahid.



Twenty-five projects by Aptech students will be selected for inclusion in a grand exhibition, where students from all over the country will participate, said Aptech placement coordinator Kanza Liaquat.

Ali Sardar, who has developed an online shopping cart gave credit to Aptech for developing his potential. "If we are provided with adequate facilities after our education we can compete with other countries in the field of information technology (IT)," Sardar added.
