The Core Mission

The Universal Challenge

“Create something useful from something normally considered useless.”

Participants will receive an on-spot challenge and build a functional working prototype before the final jury demo. How can we harness neglected thermal gradients, mechanical vibrations, ambient energy, or discarded hardware into clean power solutions?

50 Secret Challenge Cards
One team, one challenge card, chosen on spot inside the hall at 10:00 AM.
Strict On-Spot Build
All wiring, code, and assembly must occur strictly on site during the 8-hour sprint.
Tangible Working Prototype
Demonstrate physical energy conservation or power harvesting to the jury.
