NextGen Expo 2026 - In-Person Hackathon
Build. Compete. Innovate. Win.
Join us in person at NextGen Expo 2026, Bengaluru, for five hands-on technology challenges. Bring your team, build your solution, and compete with innovators from across the country.
1. AI & Robotics — Build an intelligent robotic system that can sense, understand, decide and act to solve a real-world problem using AI and robotics.
AI & ROBOTICS - 4 ROBOTICS CHALLENGES: Put your robotics skills to the test across four exciting challenges designed around autonomous navigation, problem-solving, precision and robot control.
Line Follower: Build a robot that can autonomously follow a designated track with speed and precision.
Maize Challenge: Navigate the maze, make the right decisions and reach the destination using your robot's sensing and control capabilities.
7 Stones: Build and control a robot to pick, move and rebuild the stone structure while completing the challenge within the given constraints.
Robot Football: Design a competitive robot capable of finding, controlling and pushing the ball while playing against other robots.
AI & Robotics innovation hackathon: Participants can choose one of four AI & Robotics challenges and develop a solution based on the selected problem statement.
Challenge 1 — AI: Build an intelligent AI-based solution to address a real-world problem.
Challenge 2 — Robotics: Develop a robotic system capable of sensing, decision-making and performing a useful task.
Challenge 3 — AI + Robotics: Combine AI intelligence with robotics to create an autonomous solution for a real-world problem.
2. AR/VR — Create an immersive AR/VR experience that solves a real-world problem or introduces a new way to learn, interact or experience something.
3. Drone Challenge — Test your drone skills through two rounds: Round 1: Pick & place a 1–5 kg payload. Round 2: Navigate through an obstacle course with precision and control.
4. 3D Printing — Design and 3D-print a functional solution to a given engineering problem. Think, design, print, test and improve.
5. AI-Based Films — Create an original 3–7 minute short film using AI meaningfully across storytelling, visuals, animation, sound or post-production.
In-Person: Tripura Vasini Palace Grounds, Bengaluru. 23–25 October 2026.
Choose your challenge. Build your solution. Take the stage.
