Under the guidance of Dr. Venka tesha Muniswamy\, Professor and Head of the Department of ECE at SVIT\, pa rticipants explored modulation techniques such as FSK (Frequency Shift Key ing) and PSK (Phase Shift Keying) to transmit binary data via audio. Teams encoded text into sound using Python\, transmitted it through speakers\, and decoded it back using microphones and signal processing methods.\n\nTh e session fostered curiosity and innovation as students experienced firsth and how communication principles can be applied using simple tools. Intera ctive demonstrations\, live experiments\, and real-time decoding challenge s kept participants engaged throughout the event. The hands-on activity pr ovided valuable exposure to digital signal processing\, data modulation\, and GUI-based decoding workflows — all made accessible for beginners.\n\ nThe event witnessed active participation from students across various dis ciplines\, with attendees earning certificates of participation for their successful modem builds. Bits Over Beats truly embodied the IEEE Day spiri t by transforming complex communication theories into an engaging\, practi cal\, and enjoyable learning experience — inspiring future innovators to Build\, Transmit\, and Decode the language of technology.[]\n\nAgenda: \n A hands-on beginner-friendly workshop guiding participants to design\, bui ld\, and decode their own acoustic modem while learning real-world communi cation concepts.\n\nRoom: DES Hi-Tech Seminar Hall\, Bldg: DES BLOCK\, RIT \, MSRIT Post\, M S Ramaiah Nagar\, Bengaluru\, Karnataka\, India\, 560054 LOCATION:Room: DES Hi-Tech Seminar Hall\, Bldg: DES BLOCK\, RIT\, MSRIT Pos t\, M S Ramaiah Nagar\, Bengaluru\, Karnataka\, India\, 560054 ORGANIZER:vpranavv2004@gmail.com SEQUENCE:25 SUMMARY:IEEE Day\,SB RIT- Bits Over Beats: Build Your Own Modem URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/508624 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p data-start="941" data-end="1410">As part o f <strong data-start="952" data-end="982">IEEE Day 2025 celebrations</stro ng>\, the <strong data-start="988" data-end="1044">IEEE Communications Soc iety (ComSoc) Student Chapter</strong>\, in collaboration with the <strong data-start="1072" data-end="1126">Department of ETE\, Ramaiah Institute o f Technology</strong>\, successfully organized an immersive technical work shop titled <strong data-start="1190" data-end="1234">&ldquo\;Bits Over Be ats: Build Your Own Modem.&rdquo\;</strong> The event aimed to provide stu dents with a practical introduction to digital communication systems\, foc using on how data can be transmitted acoustically through sound waves.</p> \n<p data-start="1412" data-end="1983">Held on <strong data-start="1420" d ata-end="1441">16th October 2025</strong> at the <strong data-start="1449" data-end="1477">DES Hi-Tech Seminar Hall</strong>\, the workshop offered participants a complete hands-on experience\, blending theory with creativ ity.
