This project seeks to organize a multi-day campus event that encompasses a diverse range of activities. Over the course of these days, students and alumni can look forward to engaging with future lectures, hands-on workshops, and opportunities to connect with the institutes around campus. Additionally, numerous networking events will be available, facilitating connections between students, alumni, and faculty members.
==Project #3 - Ideathon==
The Ideathon is not just an Innovation Contest; it's a semester-long journey that fosters creativity and sustainability at our university. At the start of the semester, students are presented with a challenge: to conceive innovative ideas that can enhance sustainability within our academic community.

Students form groups and embark on a collective mission to tackle this challenge head-on. They brainstorm, research, and prototype solutions, guided by their passion for creating positive change.
As the semester comes to a close, we celebrate their dedication and ingenuity with a grand finale - the Ideathon Fest. This event is a convergence of excellence, where CEOs from various industries, esteemed Professors specializing in Innovation and Entrepreneurship, members of the University Board, and other influential stakeholders come together to witness the fruits of our students' labor. Attendees can participate in engaging games, listen to inspirational stories shared by accomplished CEOs, participate in enlightening panel discussions, and explore an expo featuring innovative startups.
The highlight of the event is when student groups take the stage to pitch their prototypes. The winning prototype is not just recognized; it's actually implemented within our university, leaving a lasting impact on our sustainability efforts. Moreover, the winning student groups are honored and awarded for their outstanding contributions.
