Innov8-a-Thon is Sarala Birla University’s flagship hackathon under Tech Pragati. We invite visionaries from across India to solve real-world problems using Software & Hardware innovation (AI, IoT, Robotics, Blockchain).
Next-gen automation.
Sustainable power solutions.
Bio-hacking the future.
Limitless possibilities.
Select your mission. Decode the challenge. Build the future.
Design a low-cost mobile robot with sensors (camera, LiDAR) to autonomously identify and remove weeds, reducing herbicide use and labor costs.
Build a prototype sensor/drone network capable of detecting early fire signs (smoke, heat) and relaying alerts to a base station.
Assemble a compact, affordable device with multiple sensors (Heart Rate, SpO2, Temp) that transmits vital signs for remote diagnosis.
Prototype a smart helmet for industrial workers that monitors health (fatigue) or surroundings (hazards) to prevent accidents.
Develop an AI-driven software solution (app/chatbot) that analyzes user input for early warning signs of mental health issues.
Create a learning app that personalizes content difficulty based on student performance, bridging gaps in underserved schools.
Build a multi-modal route planner (walking + transit) that minimizes travel time, cost, and pollution exposure.
Create a software solution that gamifies recycling with points, badges, and leaderboards to encourage public behavior change.
Wildcard: Solve an unsolved challenge in the Circular Economy. Example: Connect waste producers with upcyclers.
Format: 1 Page PDF / PPTX | Focus: Problem + Solution
Clearly define the challenge. Who does it affect? Why is it critical right now? Keep it concise and impactful.
Explain your innovation. How does it solve the problem? Briefly mention the technology stack (AI, IoT, App, etc.) used.
No lengthy decks. No complex animations. Just one page defining your vision.
