1. Introduction
We are the group of committed team member presently studying BSc. IT in the Lord Buddha
Education Foundation and deeply interested in doing something fresh. With our admirable effort,
we have finished this workshop about technical writing skills and its advantages on our future
life. It is a great opportunity for all of the group member to be a part of this workshop and share
our knowledge with the young teens.

Our main focus is to build up young teens with the knowledge of technical writing skills. As of
technical writing skills growing needs many youths don’t know about the general syntax and
basic characteristics of this form of writing. They are partially unknown about the impact that
technical writing skill play in their day to day life. As describing the main area that technical
writing serves in their life our workshop serves as a guideline for communicating one’s ideas,
views, observation in more logical and technical manner. The day-to-day work of the modern
world, after all, depends much more crucially on technological documentation. This seminar
defines and serves as an objective for technical communication. It explains why technical writing
skills are important to all individuals and businesses.

Technical writing is a type of writing where the author is writing about a particular subject that
requires direction, instruction, or explanation. This style of writing has a very different purpose and
different characteristics than other writing styles such as creative writing, academic writing or
business writing. Technical writing can help individuals save time and money while stimulating
the economy. Without excellent technical writing, people and companies may be discouraged
from investing in fresh products and procedures. Proposals may not be given importance due to
undocumented similarities with other professional proposals. Thus, the significance of technical
writing is seen not only in the professional life, but also in the comfort and safety it generates for
readers. (Bayt.com, 2019)

Since our target group is the younger generation, our workshop will offer various tips and tricks
to help a wide range of readers to understand complex data. In the workshop, the need for a
document approach is highlighted. Thus, our main goal is to educate, direct, and give ability to
use a system that can help the individuals to save their valuable time and money.

abilities. Some of the benefits of collaborative team are as follows:

their objectives. Workshops can help company to improve their effectiveness, benefit and trust.

8. Conclusion:
As we have conducted and concluded this workshop, we are able to make people much more
aware about the technical writing skills. Our quiz and game session are the main attraction for
the event. As technical writing uses the simplest and most direct language to convey the
information it leads participants to use the simplest but elegant words while being precise. This
workshop will also provide an opportunity for us to get to know about participants knowledge of
field, their interest and their requirement in technical writing skill.

We have done some research on our own to fulfill the assignment criteria. Our research consists
website, books and journals. After analysis of different factors of technical writing skills and it’s
important in different organizations we come to organize the workshop on the topic of Effective
Technical Writing Skills.

Working with group to overcome and resolve problems regarding technical writing was an
awesome experience that we have got during this assignment. We have learnt a lot during the
course of workshop. We learnt about planning, managing different tasks, research and many
more.
9. Individual Components: Journal of Experience
9.1. Rajesh Regmi (NP000329)

The assignment is a completely new practice for all of us members in group. In this time period
for doing and completing this workshop it was a completely a new experience to me. This was
my very first time when I took part in conduction of workshop related to Technical Writing Skills
and it was a great time for me to share my ideas regarding writing skills with the participants in
workshop. After many research and effort we were able to manage all the resource and
collaborate with our teams for the successful conduction of workshop.

As we were unknown about the how the workshop should be conducted our lecturer helped us a
lot for making our group understand about what are the pre-requisite, how to write proposal letter
and other things that should be included in our workshop. As illustrated by our lecturer we have
researched the structure and key points for making a good proposal letter. This complete research
helps us to understand about the significance of proposal and able to know what a proposal is.
We then researched the topic listed and made a plan for adding game and quizzes in our
workshop with our lecturer's time-to-time guidance to make our research more accurate and
briefer.

Thenceforth, by the completion of this workshop we were much more familiar with the technical
writing skill and also with the need of the attendees and their expectation with the workshop.
9.2 Tirashana Singh (NP000344)

The assignment was based on a workshop design proposal. Group task was a wonderful
experience which is held in Nepal Certification Company Naxal, Kathmandu, Nepal, from July
14-16, 2019 of three-day workshop in technical writing. I was very happy to do this work and we
began group discussions with members to share the knowledge and insight of one another.

While our team has many problems during workshop, such as clear views, unwanted arguments
and absence of sources, timing, tiredness. But being friendly behavior, we could share problems
and solution without hesitation, thereby which help in improving the quality of our task. With
the assistance of my team's guidance and idea, I had a wonderful chance in this group work to
effectively and efficiently increase and enhance my writing skills. We had a combined
presentations and activity-based learning sessions which enhanced participants ' technical writing
skills for participants. It wasn't as simple as I expected, but we got guidance from our lecturer
(Ms. Binita Gurung) to prepare for the workshop.

In group workshop I got an opportunity to meet new people and expand knowledge and work
with others. I understood the knowledge, needs and psychology of people. I had significant
cooperation and teamwork, which improves my general output.
9.3 Rakshya Nepal (NP000340)

Our group was assigned to conduct the workshop on the topic of technical writing skills and I've
very happy that we've got such opportunities to share our ideas, views and opinions. With the
team member effort and hard work, our project has completed successfully and we’re glad that
everyone is satisfied with the workshop and learn about importance of technical writing skills
and its importance in the workplace and in our lives too.
In order to complete our assignment, we have done a lot of research on the topic and also visited
the company and analyzed its structures and issues so that we can perform the workshop
thoroughly. At first, I was very nervous but at the same time I was excited too. It has been such a
honor to share our knowledge.
I had a wonderful experience working with my team members and learned so much about the
technical writing skills. This assignment has given me a new insight about group work with an
opportunity of learning group skills.
