Will I need to code on competition day?

No, you will not need to code. The techathon is a competition where teams come up with globally-impactful tech ideas to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, and present them to judges. It is encouraged to go above-and-beyond with technical details in your solutions, but creating software or hardware is not required. However, ideas should be detailed, refined, and impactful.
What if I don't know anything about entrepreneurship and business?

Don't worry! There will be resources and mentors to help guide you throughout the competition. You do not need to have strong knowledge prior to the event. We are looking for students who have an interest and desire to learn more about the intersection of tech and business.
