Overview

Reboot is a hackathon conducted by IEEE RAS, VIT during the month of March. Reboot is a major event in VIT. This hackathon occurs each year in Vellore Institute of technology, Vellore. This hackathon has major aggregations and recognitions. This hackathon has a duration of 36 hours. This optimized duration of 36 hours is chosen in order to maximise creativity, competitiveness and efficiency.

The main purpose of Reboot is to introduce freshers to the world of hacks and foster creativity and a sense of innovation amongst students to bring out the best in them. It also serves as an important platform for every student to make them realise their true potential and the technical field that will appeal to them the most. This event also gives students a glimpse of what life in their future would be. These projects are the practical application of what students learn. Some of these projects can also lead to start ups for which we provide a strong platform. To summarise it all, Reboot provides the necessary platform for the future innovators and entrepreneurs. Various problem statements are provided to work on, like healthcare, defence, modern communication and so on. This 36-hour hackathon will include separate sessions for team formation, idea presentation, product/prototype development, and final pitch. Reboot has two modes. The first one being the single-phase hackathon in which the hack will start a particular time and then there would be a time limit within which the final project has to be submitted. Reboot also has a two-phase method in which first an idea is presented, time is given, the best ideas are chosen for execution. Participants will be judged based on the following criteria: Originality, Presentation, Product quality, Code quality and final presentation. This year, Reboot will begin on the 11th of march and will be held in Anna auditorium. There is a total prize money of rupees 30000. The winner will get 15000 and the runner up and the third place will get rupees 10000 and rupees 5000 respectively. We encourage freshers to come and participate along with their seniors and experts from VIT and competitors from other colleges as well.

Themes

Healthcare

In today’s world, where population is rapidly growing, pathogens acquiring strength along with the growing need of medical treatment facilities, Imagine how crucial will innovation be in promoting health.In these situations, where today’s healthcare systems are unsustainable, due to the epidemic of chronic diseases, innovation is the key and is the most important factor for future sustainability. That is where we, the community of innovators can use our ideas put on platforms like these to implement them in healthcare and dissolve the barrier between medical sphere and technology.

Agriculture

Producitivity, One of the biggest requirements of the modern society. Producivity can be drastically improved when technology is combined with sustainable farming.Over the years, cultivation and production has seen exponential improvements by landmark technologies like biotechnology, information technology, bioremediation, precision farming, integrated and organic farming systems.further more, hackathons provide “problem-based solutions” on various fields of farming.We aim at bringing out the most out of technology in innovations that will make modern farming more sustainable and productive.

Modern communication

Gone are the days when men waited for days and weeks to get a message delivered.Over the past few decades,communication has seen an exponential growth and the graph is still rising with us now having the technology to communicate anything within a fraction of seconds. There can only be better,faster and cheaper ways to communicate in the future as we refine this ever evolving technology.

Community Developement

All you need is the right team and the right platform to develop skills on the road to your greatest innovation.The ever changing world is increasing the gulf between individuals. Community building has become a necessity to adapt to the current world.That is why reboot is bringing together the greatest minds,skill sets and expertise together, encouraging the participants to co-develop ideas that can change the technology landscape overnight.

Cyber-security

Threat is a mirror of security gaps. Cyber-threat is mainly the reflection of our weaknesses. Advancing technologies have brought about various changes in conventional war techniques,posing new challenges to the current security systems.Threats have also adapted to this new era of technology and ways to exploit it. Time has come for the current security systems to evolve. It is high time that we gear up for a safe future. So this is your opportunity to build to defend.

Open Innovation

So here is your chance to showcase your idea without the limitation of the themes that we present. But there is one condition that the idea has to be extremely unique and one of a kind to get selected in this domain.

Save: Oil and Gas

The technology in oil extraction,processing and refining has witnessed a lot of developments that has led to breakthroughs and advancements in the field.The technologies today has started to adapt to this change in pace with which oil is produced and consumed.But even though all these advancements,The resource that we have is not adequate to meet the need of the industries.And that is why we look at smart ways and even more ecological techniques that can solve the problem of wastage of precious reserves from individual to industry level
