Rewired (Tech Hackathon)

Note: This Event is happening in Bangalore!

Event Description:

Rewired is a build-and-pitch hackathon. Teams pick a real problem from this year's theme, turn it into a working prototype in 7 hours and pitch it to a jury. It rewards problem sharpness, sound execution, original thinking and the ability to explain why the idea matters to a real user. Coders, designers and business minds are all welcome.

Theme: The Invisible City

Every city runs on things nobody sees: voices no system understands, people who keep everything working but never appear in any database, waste nobody counts, and needs nobody says out loud. Find something real that the city overlooks, and build technology that makes it heard, seen, counted or said.

Event Design:

• Team size: 2 to 4 members.

• Eligibility: Open to currently enrolled students from any college or university with a valid college ID. Teams may be cross-college. One person, one team.

• Equipment: Participants must bring their own laptops, chargers, an extension board and any hardware they use. Power at every desk, Wi-Fi, meals and water are provided at the venue.

• The Gravity Well: At the start of the Offline Round, each team chooses 1 out of 2 envelopes. It reveals a real-world constraint that the team has to build around.

• Tools: Any language, framework, platform, API, library or AI tool may be used, provided it is declared.

Competition Rounds:

Online Round

• Topic: Restaurants, bakeries, supermarkets and households regularly have surplus food, while people nearby may struggle to afford meals. The challenge is often coordination, timing and safe distribution. Solve this challenge and submit the deliverables listed below for the online round selections.

• Challenge: Bridge the gap between those with excess food and those without access to it.

• Deliverable: One Concept Brief PDF of up to 2 pages (team, problem with real evidence, target user, proposed solution, tech approach, expected impact, and a 12-hour build plan) and one pitch video of up to 2 minutes in which at least two members appear and speak.

• Language: English or Hindi. Videos must have subtitles in English or Hindi.

• Format: PDF for the brief. .mp4, .mpeg, .avi or .mov for the video.

• Submission: Upload the brief and video to a Google Drive folder named "Rewired_Team_Name_MWRTMB" set to "Anyone with the link can view", and submit the Drive link, repository link and Orbit.

• Inaccessible link: If the link cannot be opened at the time…
