ARDUINO EDGE AI HACKATHON - CELEBRATE IEEE DAY 2026
The Arduino Edge AI Hackathon 2026 – Build, Innovate & Deploy is being organized as part of the IEEE Day Celebration 2026 by the AI & Tech Club, IEEE Student Branch – Brainware University, in association with the Department of Computer Science & Engineering (CSE) and Institution’s Innovation Council (IIC), Brainware University, in collaboration with StemLore.
Scheduled for 06 October 2026 at the UB-II Auditorium, Brainware University, the hackathon is designed to provide undergraduate students with an opportunity to explore and apply emerging technologies through hands-on development and problem-solving. The event will focus on Arduino UNO Q, Edge AI, coding, smart prototyping, innovation, and practical technology development.
Only UG students are eligible to participate. Students will participate in teams of minimum 3 and maximum 6 members, with 20 teams selected through a screening process based on their GitHub profiles, LinkedIn profiles, and academic details. Each selected team will be provided with an Arduino UNO Q board for development and deployment during the event. Participants are required to bring at least one fully charged laptop per team and should have good coding and problem-solving skills.
An online orientation session on Arduino UNO Q and its platform will be conducted before or around the event to familiarize participants with the technology. During the hackathon, selected teams will work on assigned problem statements, develop innovative solutions, test their prototypes, and demonstrate their outcomes.
The hackathon aims to encourage innovation, creativity, teamwork, analytical thinking, coding proficiency, and practical engineering skills among undergraduate students. It will also provide participants with an opportunity to gain exposure to industry-relevant technologies and transform ideas into functional prototypes.
As part of the event, the winning team will receive one Arduino UNO Q board, while selected participants will receive Arduino goodies. The event will therefore serve as a platform for students to learn, collaborate, innovate, and showcase their technical capabilities while celebrating the spirit of IEEE Day 2026.
Build. Innovate. Deploy. Celebrate IEEE Day 2026.
