How it works
- Open to intra-university and inter-university participants; registration is required.
- Round 1, Preliminary Moodle Test: 10 questions in 20 minutes, followed by 10 minutes for evaluation. Round 1 decides who advances and carries no marks forward.
- Round 2, Find Yourself Challenge: each team draws a theme chit and has two hours to develop a problem statement, a solution and a pitch.
- Round 3, Final Pitch: 10 minutes to pitch to the judges, then 10 minutes in which the other teams probe the idea for flaws and debate it with you.
- Judges make confidential, imaginary investments in the ideas as part of the final evaluation.
- Fair play and respectful conduct are expected. The judges’ decision is final.
What you submit
