commonly used technology tools and techniques that do not require coding and

programming background.

The problem statement that you’ll be working can be picked from any of the two categories which can be found here.

Three winners will be selected for cash awards (up to $500) in each category

based on the originality, feasibility, execution, and sustainability.

Workshops for both, advanced as well as novice, students are scheduled over

the duration of the event and some virtual sessions as well prior to the event to

help you learn tools and techniques to transform your ideas into real apps and or

a product.

Your mentor will guide you what workshops to pick and which tools to use in

support of your project goal.

A platform to learn new skills, meet new people, and use technology to unlock

new possibilities and creativity in an inclusive environment!
