The event challenged participants on both log ical reasoning and technical coding skills\, testing their ability to solv e puzzles and program effectively under pressure. A total of 25 teams part icipated in the event\, each composed of two members. The first round was conducted via Educaplay\, focusing on future and emerging technologies\, w hile the second round was held on HackerRank\, emphasizing multi-language programming.\n\nROUND 1:\nThe Turbo Track event began with Round 0 on Octo ber 1st\, 2024\, serving as an online preliminary session to help particip ants prepare for the main event. Teams attended an informative Q&A session \, where they clarified competition rules and expectations. The event team showcased a demo RC car with basic features\, giving participants a first hand look at the design elements and performance capabilities required for the competition. The session provided valuable insights\, helping partici pants fine-tune their own models.\nTeams Presented: 25\nNo. of Participant s: 50\n\nROUND 2:\n\nIn the second round\, Treasure Hunt – Code to Win\, teams were challenged with multi- language programming tasks on HackerRan k. The round featured a unique dynamic where only one team member could co de at a time\, while the other was kept away from the workspace.\nTeams we re required to switch between coding turns\, making seamless communication and strategy critical for success. The task involved solving programming problems in C\, Python\, Java\, and C++ to reveal missing letters in a par tially completed word. Success in this round demanded not only technical p roficiency in multiple programming languages but also effective collaborat ion between team members\, as they frequently swapped roles. The top teams to correctly decode and complete the word by solving all the coding chall enges were declared the\nwinners.\nTeams Presented: 10\nNo. of Participant s: 20\n\nCONCLUSION :\nCipher Chase successfully engaged participants in a fast-paced technical competition that combined logical reasoning and codi ng skills. The transition from the quick-fire puzzle- solving of AlphaSpri nt to the strategic coding challenges of Treasure Hunt highlighted partici pants' adaptability and teamwork. The event fostered collaboration and qui ck thinking\, celebrating innovation and technical expertise\, making it a memorable part of the IEEE Day celebrations at Sri Sairam Engineering Col lege.\n\nBldg: COMPUTER CENTER 2\, SAI LEO NAGAR\, POONTHANDALAM VILLAGE\, WEST TAMBARAM\, CHENNAI\, Tamil Nadu\, India LOCATION:Bldg: COMPUTER CENTER 2\, SAI LEO NAGAR\, POONTHANDALAM VILLAGE\, WEST TAMBARAM\, CHENNAI\, Tamil Nadu\, India ORGANIZER:manikandan.ece@ieee.org SEQUENCE:8 SUMMARY:CIPHER PHASE URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/439535 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>Cipher Chase\, held on October 7\, 2024\, as part of IEEE Day 2024 celebrations at Sri Sairam Engineering College\, was a fast-paced two-round technical competition.
