Our story
ARICT started with a small group of students who wanted more than lectures: a place to experiment, to share what they were learning and to build things together.
That group grew into an association that now runs workshops, hackathons and talks across the year, supports student projects and connects members with industry.
Our history
Since its founding, ARICT has been run by an elected student committee that changes each academic year. Every committee has added something new: a workshop series, a hackathon, a mentoring circle, a project showcase. All of it remains part of the association's record.
Our mission
To create opportunities for Rajarata University students to build practical technology skills, work on meaningful projects and grow as leaders.
