The challenge

Build a working project that solves a real problem for students or small businesses in India. Some ideas to spark yours:

  • A study planner that turns a syllabus into a daily schedule
  • An attendance or fee tracker for a coaching centre
  • A Hindi + English chatbot that answers questions about a college
  • A tool that helps a local shop take orders on WhatsApp
  • Anything that saves someone time every single week

Web, mobile, command-line or AI — any stack is welcome.

How it works

  1. Register a team (or go solo) before 27 Nov, 11:59 PM IST. Share your team's invite code with teammates.
  2. Build between 28 Nov, 10:00 AM and 29 Nov, 10:00 PM IST.
  3. Submit your public GitHub repository, a short description and — ideally — a live demo link or a 2-minute video.

Rules

  • Teams of 1–4. Every member must have a Skills101 account and join the team.
  • Start building after the start time. Open-source libraries, templates and AI tools are allowed — just mention what you used in your README.
  • The repository must be public until results are announced.
  • Be original and respectful. Plagiarised projects are disqualified.
