Technical Scripter Event 2020 By GeeksforGeeks

Everyone knows that the tech enthusiasts hold a strong passion for reading articles – whether it be about their specific domain, cutting-edge technologies, source codes & programs, or any other (and yes, it’s really a good practice!!). However, the thing which only a few know is that these tech geeks often like to articulate their learnings or showcase their expertise in a particular area through their writings and want to share it with the right audience as well. Although, due to the lack of opportunities or resources, most of the individuals don’t even get a single chance to showcase their technical & writing skills.

Moreover, you don’t need to step out of your house to participate in the event as you can write and submit your article sitting at your home. And yes, all the participants of the Technical Scripter Event will be rewarded with some exciting prizes too.
