Noskathon Lite is an exhilarating intra-college hackathon event scheduled for January 12th and 13th, 2025. It is designed to inspire innovation and problem-solving among talented individuals and teams. This year, the event proudly hosts 50 teams, each bringing their creativity and technical expertise to address real-world challenges under three impactful themes: Open Source for Change, Climate Action through Technology, and AI for Good.

Projects under Open Source for Change focus on leveraging community-driven solutions and accessible technologies to address pressing societal needs. These include a blood bank platform to efficiently connect donors with recipients, event management systems to streamline event organization, and a reusable item swap platform promoting sustainability by facilitating the exchange of goods. Another standout project is HamroHaatBazar, which empowers farmers by connecting them with local marketplaces, fostering economic growth and community support.

The Climate Action through Technology theme highlights the role of innovation in addressing environmental challenges and promoting sustainability. Notable projects include ClimateGrow, which uses predictive analytics to provide agricultural insights and combat climate change, an IoT-based flood rescue application that enables real-time disaster response, and EcoSort, which focuses on efficient waste management for a cleaner environment. Other impactful solutions, such as FuelWisely, aim to optimize fuel usage and minimize emissions, contributing to a greener future.

In the AI for Good category, teams harness the power of artificial intelligence to create solutions that improve healthcare, safety, and daily life. Projects include a Virtual Doctor that provides AI-powered healthcare consultations for remote or underserved areas, a Driver Drowsiness Detection system that enhances road safety, and ChakraViram. This AI-based digital detox assistant promotes mental wellness. Additionally, SmartPlates leverages AI to encourage healthier eating habits by providing personalized meal recommendations.

Each project has been carefully evaluated and assigned a theme based on its unique goals and vision, ensuring alignment with the event’s mission to foster innovation for meaningful impact. Noskathon Lite serves as a platform for collaboration, learning, and inspiration, celebrating the potential of technology to address global challenges. Through creativity, teamwork, and determination, participants showcase their ability to transform ideas into actionable solutions, paving the way for a brighter, more sustainable future.
