Event Format
Teams will test their skills to create something extraordinary in a thrilling 48-hour competition modeled after the popular 48-house film festival format. Each project must combine two essential components:
- Programming: Write the code that brings your vision to life.
- Physical Device: Integrate a hardware element such as an ESP32, Arduino, or Raspberry Pi to make your project tangible.
Your team will have 48 hours to ideate, build, and present your innovative solution to your competition. That’s right, the teams themselves will vote for the winner! This is your chance to showcase your technical and creative prowess!
Prizes Compete for exciting cash prizes awarded to the top three teams:
- 1st Place: $500!
- 2nd Place: $250
- 3rd Place: $100
Bragging rights and the satisfaction of creating something amazing are just the beginning.
