About The Ideathon The CS & AI Club Ideathon is an innovation challenge that invites students to identify real-world problems and design creative, technology-driven solutions. Unlike traditional coding-only hackathons, this ideathon focuses on problem-solving, innovation, and feasibility. Participants are encouraged to explore ideas that combine computer science, artificial intelligence, and interdisciplinary thinking to address challenges in society, technology, business, education, healthcare, sustainability, and more. Students will work individually or in teams to develop an original idea, analyze its impact, and present a solution that demonstrates both creativity and practicality. Participants will: • Identify a real-world problem • Develop an innovative solution • Explore possible technologies or systems that could implement the solution • Present their idea to a judging panel Solutions are not limited to coding. Teams may present: • Prototypes • System designs • Platforms or applications • AI-driven concepts • Workflow or automation systems • Technical or product ideas The goal of the ideathon is to encourage creative thinking, interdisciplinary collaboration, and impactful innovation.
