South Korea, renowned for its global technology leaders such as Samsung, LG, and Hyundai, has maintained a robust and fruitful relationship with India. A concrete manifestation of this collaboration was the establishment of the Indo Korea Science and Technology Center (IKST) by the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), Korea's premier research organization, at the prestigious Indian Institute of Science Bangalore. The IKST was officially inaugurated on January 27, 2010, by the esteemed former President of India, Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam.
This Indo Korea Science and Technology Center serves as a catalyst for further strengthening the scientific and technological exchanges between India and South Korea. It acts as a hub for collaborative research, knowledge sharing, and the development of innovative solutions. By leveraging the expertise and resources of both nations, the IKST paves the way for breakthrough advancements in various domains.
Contest
HackTech 2023 commences with a programming skills contest, designed to identify participants with strong technical abilities and a solid programming foundation. Successful contestants proceed to Phase II for programming skill development workshop, led by industry experts, to further refine their coding abilities.
Following the Phase II, the chosen participants enter the Phase III - ideation and prototype building. Under experts' guidance, they delve into a designated theme, brainstorm innovative ideas, and fine-tune their project concepts. Participants transform their concepts into tangible prototypes, putting their problem-solving skills to the test under pressure. Before submitting their final prototypes, participants benefit from a final expert interaction to ensure the highest standards are met.
The evaluation process determines the deserving winners who will be rewarded with exciting prizes for their remarkable accomplishments.
Note: This is an individual event; team participation is not allowed.
