Key Objectives

Bridge Physical & Digital

Integrate IoT hardware simulation (Wokwi/ESP32) with real-time game engines (GDevelop/p5.js) using MQTT/WebSockets.

Beyond Basic Electronics

Move past simple circuit building into high-level Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and system architecture.

Cloud-Based Innovation

Transmit, process, and visualize sensor data from a virtual microcontroller to trigger complex logic in a game.

Full-Stack IoT Skills

Build a portfolio-ready project covering firmware coding (C++/MicroPython), network latency, and front-end dev.

Event Overview

Who can join?

1-4 participants per team. Open to all relevant branches/years.

Interdisciplinary and cross-domain teams are highly encouraged!

Single submission per team.

Develop Full-Stack IoT Skills: Equip yourself with a portfolio-ready project covering firmware coding, network latency management, and front-end game development.

Technical Reqs
