02

Mentorship from Industry Experts

Get guided by mentors from IEEE CEDA Bangalore Chapter and our industry partners throughout the build.

03

Network with Innovators

Meet fellow builders, faculty and sponsors from across the country — connections that outlast the event.

Certificate for Every Participant

Walk away with an official certificate recognising your participation and effort, whatever the outcome.

05

Prizes & a Paid Internship

Compete for a share of the ₹50,000 prize pool, plus an internship with stipend for the winning team.

06

A Resume That Stands Out

A national-level hardware hackathon is exactly the kind of experience recruiters and interviewers ask about.
