Mini-Project

All the participants will be formed into groups to exercise a mini-project. Each group can select a mini-project from the list of mini-projects or they can come up with their idea. Each group has to present their mini-project on the last day during the evaluation session. The best three teams (1st, 2nd, and 3rd) will be announced by the experts. The group formation (total number of groups, and number of participants in each group) will be decided based on the number of registration. A list of mentors (topic-wise) will be provided who will help during the execution of the mini-projects. A communication channel (discord) has already been established for participant-mentor communication.
