Events
Hackathon
All your life you’ve been thinking, and this is your chance to bring all of them to life. Hackathon is one of our biggest and most promising events of CYBER CUP ’19. It is an onsite competitive programming contest where participants don’t just need to solve the problems but write their code using the minimum number of characters. The smartest solution wins it all!
Entries will be judged on the use of the full analytics process—incorporating not only the technical analysis and solution, but also the understanding of the business problem. It must hold clarity, technical strength of methodology, and uniqueness of approach.
TIMELINE
The timeline will be segregated into different phases, which are:
Phase 1: All participants will be provided with multiple themes. They will have to choose one out of the many themes and develop a prototype with the same.
Phase 2: Evaluation of the progress of the participants' prototype.
Phase 3: The participants will have to present the complete prototype for final evaluation.
Phase 4: Segregation of the teams into the top 10.
Phase 5: Pitching by the top 10 teams.
RULES
Team Size:
At max 4 members in a team. Lone wolves are welcome too; we might team you up during the hackathon.
Originality of idea :
The idea should be unique and demonstrate out-of-the-box thinking, meaning already existing vs. new solution.
Final Decision:
The ultimate decision regarding awards and prizes lies within the hands of the judges.
Equipment:
Participants have to bring their own laptops. Extension cords and internet access will be provided.
JUDGING CRITERIA
1. JUDGING CRITERIA IN THE SECOND PHASE WILL BE BASED UPON YOUR APPROACH TO THE PROBLEM, DESIGN, AND CREATIVE SOLUTION 2. USEFULNESS AND USABILITY 3. RELEVANCE
Designathon
Design Hackathon is one of the major highlights of CYBER CUP’19 – PRE CONFLUENCE EVENT. Being a 24-hour UI/UX developing event with intensive use of advanced illustrative tools to increase the efficiency of design build-ups created by the students. The participants will be provided with a time limit to complete the challenges. They will assert their minds around a specific theme, build prototypes, and present them to the panel via a live connection, to the live audience, and to the wider public via media.
