About The Event

πŸ’‘

Ideathon

Present your innovative ideas and solutions to real-world problems. Transform your vision into impactful presentations.

πŸ’»

Vibe Coding

Code in your flow, create amazing projects, and showcase your development skills with live deployments.

🎯 Level 2 Problem Statements

Shortlisted teams must work on the following themes for Level 2 Semi-Final

πŸ’» Vibe Coding Themes (Web & Development Focus)

These themes are designed to be accessible (Intermediate Level) and spur fast, creative development. Teams must select ONE theme for their project.

1

πŸ”— Connect

Build something that involves real-time interaction or linking different data sources (e.g., live chat, collaborative notes, or a system that pulls data from multiple APIs).

2

πŸ—ΊοΈ Trace

Build a project focused on tracking, mapping, or showing journeys/history (e.g., visualizing a path, showing historical data over time, or creating a digital logbook).

3

πŸ”‘ Access

Build a project that deals with user authentication, security, or personalized content (e.g., a simple login with different user roles, or a tool that encrypts/protects data).

4

🦎 Adapt

Build a website or app that changes its look, layout, or features dramatically based on the user's environment (e.g., screen size, dark/light mode, or a mock user profile).

5

🧠 Sense

Build a web interface that takes simple input data (from a form, a mock sensor, or an API) and presents it in a beautiful, intelligent, or useful way.

πŸ“‹ Mandatory Submission Requirements:

Teams must submit a live, working prototype centered on their chosen theme (Connect, Trace, Access, Adapt, or Sense).

  • 1. Live Functional Prototype (Web URL): The primary output must be a publicly accessible, working website or web application. The core feature related to the theme must be functional (the Minimum Viable Product).
  • 2. High-Quality UI/UX Design: The interface must be visually appealing, intuitive to use, and showcase a deliberate, unique "vibe" that enhances the project's concept.
  • 3. Intermediate Technical Integration: The project must utilize at least one core intermediate web technology, such as consuming a live API, implementing simple client-side authentication/authorization, or using WebSockets for real-time updates.
  • 4. Dynamic Data/Logic Visualization: The application must prove dynamic behavior by processing or displaying data (either from an API or a mock data set) via a graph, chart, or interactive visualization.
  • 5. Codebase and Pitch Submission: Submission must include the complete, organized source code repository (e.g., GitHub link) and a brief (1-3 minute) pitch video or presentation deck explaining the solution and innovation.

πŸ’‘ Ideathon Problem Statements (6 Domains)

Choose ONE problem statement from any domain and present your innovative solution with a focus on ideation, PPT presentation, and innovation.

Build a basic image classification model (or a proof-of-concept data collection strategy) to identify common crop disease symptoms on leaves, providing instant feedback to a farmer via a simple web or mobile interface.

πŸ€– AI/DS & ML

AI/ML-01
University Resource Demand Prediction

Develop a data analysis and prediction model (using historical usage data) to forecast peak demand for a specific university resource (e.g., library seats, lab equipment, cafeteria rush hour) and visualize the forecast on a dashboard.

AI/ML-02
Simplified Natural Language Query System for Local Data

Create an application that allows users to ask simple, natural language questions (e.g., "Which student has the highest attendance?") and get answers from a small, structured local dataset (e.g., student/college data).

AI/ML-03
AI-Powered Resume/Skill Matcher

Build a basic system that takes a Job Description (JD) and a student's resume/CV and provides a numeric compatibility score and highlights the missing keywords/skills using basic text processing and data matching techniques.

AI/ML-04
Personalized "Micro-Habit" Tracker and Suggestion Tool

Design an app that tracks a few daily habits (e.g., study time, water intake) and uses simple data science techniques to provide personalized, timely suggestions to improve the user's routine based on their own historical patterns.

πŸ₯ Bio Medical

BME-01
Posture Monitoring and Alert System

Design a simple wearable or desk-mounted device (using an accelerometer/ultrasonic sensor and a microcontroller like Arduino) that detects poor sitting posture and provides a timely audio or haptic alert to the user.

BME-02
"Know Your Medicine" Information Kiosk Prototype

Develop an interactive digital kiosk (web interface prototype) where users can quickly search for a medicine name (or scan a mock code) and view simplified, easy-to-understand information about its uses, dosage, and common side effects.

BME-03
Hand-Gesture-to-Text Conversion Tool

Create a basic system (using a camera or glove-based sensors) that can recognize a small set of simple hand gestures (e.g., 'Hello', 'Yes', 'No') and convert them into displayed text, aiding in basic communication for non-verbal individuals.

BME-04
Low-Cost Pulse Oximeter & Data Logger

Build a functional prototype for a basic pulse oximeter using readily available components (LEDs, photodetectors, microcontroller) that can measure SpOβ‚‚ and heart rate and log the data locally or to a simple digital display.

πŸ’» Software and Development
