Hardware Hackathon 2.0

​Hardware Hackathon 2.0: Build for a Journey to Mars 🚀

​This isn’t “yet another” hackathon. For 72 hours, you’ll be building real hardware for a fictional Mars mission – inside a live science gallery packed with demos, exhibits and other curious humans. You bring the ideas, we bring the lab.

​Over one intense weekend, teams design, prototype and test devices across three tracks — Leaving Earth, Crossing the Void, and Living on Mars. You’ll get PCB fabrication in under 24 hours, access to a stocked components store, and wallet credits to spend on boards and parts as you iterate.

​Across the floor, unique themed workshops run in parallel: electronics design, firmware, product thinking, manufacturing, scaling, business models, pitching and more. Industry mentors will float between teams to help you debug circuits, refine architectures and stress-test your roadmap.

​By the end of 72 hours, you’ll walk out with:
– A working hardware prototype built for a Mars mission
– Real experience with fast-turn PCBs and constrained resources
– Feedback from engineers, founders and domain experts
– A shot at a ₹2,00,000+ prize pool plus goodies, visibility and future collabs

​Open to students, professionals, makers and hardware enthusiasts (18+).
If you’ve ever wanted to see your idea go from scribble → schematic → PCB → demo in one weekend, this is your playground.
