Our first field trip in Mentor, to Mastek Office - Selva Kumar

Ok... this is a write-up by one of the mentees in the program I spoke about- Selva... so not wasting much time, I just post his write-up...


On Saturday, we went to Mentor at M.B.P. We all went there at 12.00 pm. We all sat there for two hours. We played in the garden. Then Ankur bhaiya came and we went inside the canteen. Then bhaiya ordered vada-pav for everyone. We ate and we all waited for our mentors. The two three bhaiyas came and we discussed how to behave inside the office.

Then we went inside the office. There we saw machines which work on swipe cards. We had to swipe and go in when the door opened. I learnt that when we enter we should not allow anyone behind us. He or she can be dangerous for the office.

Then we went up by lift. We went to fourth floor. Then bhaiya took us inside the office. We all saw computers in the office. We saw sensors which set the alarms on when the office catches fire. There are guards who guide us to the door from which we go out.

Then we went to conference room to see how meetings work. All of us saw on the computer from the projector. We have to have our username and password to start the computer. Then we saw google.com and how computers work.

Then we went to another building where each floor had a theme, like the second floor had the theme on sports. Taking photos was not allowed there, but we took photos outside. Then we went back to the canteen and then back home. I liked that place very much.
