It aims to bring students with various skillsets together and to encourage them to embrace their talent in coding by participating and exploring new challenges. Students will have a wide range of opportunities to showcase their skills in problematic sectors such as education, health care, environment, and various others that need innovative solutions in today’s scenario.
In lieu of the COVID-19 pandemic we have organized a 100% virtual hackathon. The situation is challenging, but we must make the best out of it.
We have adopted the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and incorporated the 17 Sustainable Development Goals as a theme for this flagship event of BVEST 2020. As technology advances, we are certainly witnessing the increasing need for all sustainable development goals to be implemented and achieved. We are well equipped with the knowledge and technology needed to make our contribution towards sustainability. Therefore, we invite you to be part of SUSTAINATHON, to contribute what you can, and to make a strong impact. This hackathon will be an opportunity for developers to develop a soft solution or a product, stemming from any branch of engineering or applied sciences, which adheres to the theme of the event.
A Google Form will be provided to the contestants where they are supposed to upload their proposal’s ppt/pdf/video drive link.
The proposal being submitted should clearly mention the team name and the team leader’s name
The proposals will be judged on the following basis:
Innovation, effectiveness, and the relevance of the main idea behind the project, and the inspiration behind selecting the project will be taken into account.
What sort of technology services or set of tools were used to build/run the application? It influences the ability of your project and will be one of the deciding factors for the judges.
The main idea behind the project that drives you and its originality. The motivation, where it came from, and how it was implemented.
The relatability of the idea or project to the theme assigned to you will be taken into consideration.
Each team has to adhere to the following rules in order to pitch and present your ideas in the given frame of time
A valid team must comprise of 2-4 team members.
A change in a team is allowed if informed beforehand. You may contact us for any changes.
At the time of RSVP, the participants or the team members must provide a valid college ID to verify their details.
The last date for the registration for the event is 31st October 2020.
The presentation of the idea will be on zoom premium and the team will have to present and demonstrate their idea to the judges.
The video of all the team members in a team shall be on during the presentation and pitch of the idea.
The teams can also be made cross college.
All the design elements, code, etc. for your project must be created during the event. Third-party tools are allowed. While you may not begin the coding in advance, you can plan and discuss it with your team in advance.
Adding new features to an already existing project is allowed. Judges will only consider the new functionality added during the hackathon.
Written documents and design sketches are allowed. You can also incorporate the material that is freely available to the public on the internet in your project. For Ex. Heroku, Netlify, etc
Any intellectual property that is developed during the hackathon will belong to the team that developed it.
