SmartCityX: The AIoT Hackathon
Build Smarter. Code Better. Hack the Future.
Why Join SmartCityX?
Join us for SmartCityX, an AIoT-powered hackathon that invites innovators to shape the cities of tomorrow. This event challenges participants to deploy 1D or 2D AIoT models on ESP32 boards to solve real-world problems in the Smart City domain—ranging from child care, healthcare, to urban infrastructure.
Whether you're a budding engineer or a seasoned techie, this is your chance to ideate, simulate, and build deployed hardware solutions that bring real change.
What’s the Challenge?
- Build and deploy either a:
- 1D Model (Linear sensor-based solution)
- 2D Model (More complex multi-dimensional systems)
- All solutions must run on the ESP32 platform, simulating real-world smart city problems and offering intelligent, scalable fixes.
Phases of the Hackathon
- Ideation Phase: Submit your team’s idea—problem statement and solution. Selected teams move to Phase 2.
- Prototyping Phase: Use Wokwi simulator to demonstrate a basic working vision. Accuracy isn’t mandatory—just show the “what” and “how.”
- Deployment Phase: Purchase hardware and begin hands-on implementation. Build, test, and deploy your final working prototype on ESP32.
Team Size
3 to 4 members per team
Collaborate, brainstorm, and conquer the urban challenges!
What’s at Stake?
- Top 5 teams → Core Members of the IoT Club
- Next 5 teams → Trainees in the IoT Club
Show us what you’ve got—and we’ll give you the platform to grow, build, and lead.
Who Can Join?
Open exclusively to 2nd and 3rd-year students who are:
Tech enthusiasts, Hardware hackers, IoT builders.
