OFFLINE EVENTS:
FRONT END CHALLENGE : We’re sure everyone has experienced how frustrating it gets while browsing a government website, at least once in their life. The reason? Simple! Poor functionality and counter-intuitive UI design. After all, websites are the first impressions that we have on our clients. Step up for this challenge that we present to you. Use your CSS and JS skills and explore your creativity to style a webpage and make it functional. Keep an eye out for the constraints - you can’t modify the HTML file that will be provided.

Pitching event : The hype that Shark Tank India created, a few months back, was real! It had all of us glued to our seats, and sparked our minds with curiosity and awe. We’re planning to give you a similar experience this year. Except, that you’ll not be watching this time. You’ll be the one pitching your ideas to the panel of investors in front of you. Pitch your startup ideas, specifically in the domain of FinTech in under 7 minutes. Stand a chance to be noticed by the investors and get their help in financing your ideas.

KBC Quiz Competition : Watching KBC on TV is by far one of our favorite memories. Our excitement is at its peak when a question is presented to the participant, and the stakes are high. Join us for a fun KBC quiz event this year. In teams of 3, you will have 30 seconds to answer the question given to you. But, here’s the catch. A wrong answer will fetch you negative marks, so be confident about your answers. Put your speed and knowledge to the test!

Line Follower Bot competition : Ever been fascinated by remote-controlled cars or F1 racing events? Then this event is perfect for you. Dive right into this race, where we present to you an obstacle-ridden track. Bring in your line follower bots, and start racing them across the line tracks. Needless to say, the fastest bot wins the race!

Line Maze Fun game : Ever solved those fun mazes at the back of your notebooks? This event is all about maze solving but the catch is that you will have to solve it using a ROBOT!! All participants will be given an RC car which they have to maneuver through the maze. The car will be equipped with IR sensors in every direction. If the car touches the line, the sensors will pick up the signal, a buzzer will go off and the player will fall out of the game. This is a fun event so be ready to put your RC driving skills to the test!

Scratch for school students : A fun event for school students to introduce them to the world of programming using scratch. Scratch is a tool that allows people to explore the world of coding and logic flow without having any prior knowledge. This would be a workshop cum hackathon in which we would be demonstrating how to build a game using scratch followed by a problem statement. The participants have to create a game based on the problem statement implementing what has been demonstrated in the workshop. We aim to teach the importance of coding to students and introduce them to the basic logic flow and structure behind programming.

Treasure hunt : The event is somewhat similar to Treasure Hunt but in a computer sciency way! Participants would have to solve tricky questions of competitive programming to find clues for the next waypoint. The event will be conducted in two phases - Snail trail and Escape room. In snail trail, the participants would have to collect multiple clues, each clue leading to another. All the clues collected in the first round will be useful in the second round in which the teams will be separated in different rooms and will be given a task to solve in which the previous clues will be useful. So get ready to solve these brain racking problem statements and awaken the Sherlock Holmes within you!

Trading : You have heard about trading in stocks and trading in cryptocurrency, but have you ever heard about trading in programming? We are hosting a fascinating event that will test both your trading and coding skills. Problem statements will be released and the participants will have to create functions that might be helpful to complete the challenge. The name and description of all functions will be open to all the participants. If participants are convinced by the price and description then they can trade.

Mixer Event/Pare it Down/ Toil and Trouble : Curious about competitive programming but don’t know where to start? We bring to you a fun coding event to help you hone your programming skills even without any prior experience. There will be five coding rounds which will progress from easy to medium difficulty levels namely, Introduction to a new language, Debugging Round, Brain Racking, Blind Code, and CP with risk and reward.

Dive the bOAt (Fun Event) : Have you ever played with Legos? If yes: you have an edge! If not: your time has arrived! Get ready to build a boat and wade through uncertain waters without losing your hold. You will be given lego building bars, a motor, and a battery to create your own boat. You must configure the boat in such a way that it reaches a certain distance or person within the stipulated time

Climbing Up the challenge : Put your problem-solving skills to the test in this event that will test your knowledge in the mechanical domain through our curated set of puzzles and trivia. We will present you with four checkpoints and the first team to successfully complete all four will be declared the winner. We hope to see interesting and intuitive approaches from the participants.

Game Theory event : It's riveting to see how games and human nature can get complicated and interesting at the same time. Game Theory is the tool in use to comprehend the subtle relation between the two. It also lays the foundation for some profound algorithms used in AI today. If Game Theory is back on the grid, so are we. There would be a faceoff between participants in each round, which will consist of multiple games. The selected players would proceed to the next round and climb up the Leaderboard. So keep an eye out for everyone's strengths and weaknesses, and get ready to play on both fronts.
