IEEE - IC

Standards Hackathon

Register for Workshop
Overview

A unique hackathon opportunity which enabled the participants to learn key nuances of Internet standards development process and its open source implementation in SDOs, like IETF. The hackathon brought both remote and physical hackathon experiences implementing global practices.

Phases

Remote Phase: 23 Teams | 69 Participants | 16 Universities | 6 weeks

Onsite Hackathon at IIT Guwahati: 9 Teams | 27 participants | 7 universities | 2 Days

Grand Finale at IIT Guwahati: 5 Finalist Teams | 2 winning teams
