About the challenge
Aligned with GDSC PLM's core mission of empowering individuals and fostering a culture of innovation, the InnOlympics presents a unique opportunity for students to test their knowledge and creativity. Participants will be challenged to develop solutions addressing one or more of the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These goals encompass critical global issues like poverty, inequality, and climate change, offering vast opportunities for innovative ideas to take shape.
Hackathon Structure
The hackathon structure emphasizes collaboration and teamwork. Students can form teams of up to four members, with at least one GDSC chapter member. This fosters a supportive environment where participants engage with diverse perspectives, learn from each other, and combine their skills to create well-rounded solutions.
