Questions
Who can participate?
Any student, from any branch and any college, can join.
Do I need a team?
Team size is up to 4 members. Form your team before registering — reach out to fellow students in your college or network to find like-minded builders.
Can beginners join?
Yes — this hackathon is open to all skill levels. No prior experience is required; just bring your curiosity and willingness to learn.
Is WiFi and power available?
Yes, both will be provided at the venue.
What should I bring?
A laptop, chargers, your tools and a valid college ID.
Do teams need to arrange their own hardware?
Yes — teams are responsible for sourcing and bringing all hardware components required for their project. The venue provides workspace, power, and WiFi, but no hardware components will be supplied by the organizers.
