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
