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 (Multi-sensor or multidimensional system)
  • All solutions must run on the ESP32 platform.
Phases of the Hackathon
  1. Ideation Phase: Submit your team’s idea — problem statement and solution.
  2. Prototyping Phase: Use Wokwi simulator to demonstrate a basic concept.
  3. Deployment Phase: Purchase hardware and begin hands-on implementation.
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
Who Can Join?
Open exclusively to 2nd and 3rd-year students who are tech enthusiasts, hardware hackers, and IoT builders.
If you’re passionate about solving Smart City challenges using AIoT and ESP32, this hackathon is for you.
