What is an ideathon?

An Ideathon is a brainstorming-based event where participants come together to generate, develop, and present innovative ideas within a limited time. Unlike a hackathon, it focuses more on concepts and creative solutions rather than coding or building a full product. It's all about turning ideas into impactful solutions for real-world challenges.

Difference between ideathon and hackathon?

A hackathon is about building working prototypes with coding and technical skills, while an ideathon is about thinking—brainstorming creative ideas and presenting impactful solutions.

Can individuals apply?

Teams are preferred (2-4), but individuals can form teams.

Can one student join multiple teams?

No, only one team per participant.

Do all participants get certificates?

Yes, certificates for all registered participants.

Is coding required?

Not always. Some problem statements require technical prototypes; others may need business/idea pitching. No coding or model is required.
