Code and Wire: Arduino

About

This competition is designed to test participants' Arduino programming skills, sensor integration knowledge, and problem-solving abilities through simulation and hardware-based challenges. The event consists of three rounds, each increasing in complexity. Participants will have the opportunity to showcase their technical creativity while working with real-world embedded systems. The challenge encourages innovation, teamwork, and hands-on implementation to solve practical problems.

Team Size

Each team must have 2-3 members.

Guidelines

Simulation Tools:

Participants will use TinkerCad for the simulation rounds.

Rounds & Evaluation Criteria:

Round 1: Simulation Round

Teams will be given a basic problem statement requiring them to implement Arduino-based simulations.
Participants must demonstrate correct circuit design and code functionality.

Round 2: Advanced Simulation Round

Shortlisted teams will face a more complex problem requiring the integration of multiple sensors and modules.
Emphasis will be on efficiency, accuracy, and innovative solutions.

Round 3: Hardware Challenge (Final Round)

Teams qualifying from Round 2 will receive hardware kits to implement their solutions in real-time.
Hands-on debugging and implementation skills will be tested.

Facilities & Requirements

Computers will be provided for all rounds.
Hardware kits will be provided only for teams that qualify for the third round.
Tasks will be disclosed on the event day.

Skills Required
