Innovation on Defence & Security

Open Innovation and Engineering Showcase. Student teams present original research, design logbooks, and working hardware prototypes addressing alpine security and disaster mitigation challenges.

Mission Briefing

WARNING! EMERGENCY ALERT RECEIVED:

The tactical landscape is constantly evolving. Your unit is granted full creative authorization to engineer any STEM-based project or robotics system (such as sensor-equipped ground robots, smart automated setups, etc.) that directly enhances 'Defence & Security'. Push the boundaries of your STEM lab capabilities to conceptualize and present a revolutionary defense prototype.

Mission Objectives

  1. Conceptualize a hardware prototype for defence.
  2. Setup the project demonstration booth.
  3. Operate the prototype during live runs.
  4. Present background research and schematics.
  5. Defend technical choices to the judge panel.
  6. Showcase improvements to frontline safety or security.
  7. Complete the pitch.

Preliminary Round: Technical Evaluation

Online technical evaluation & layout review. Teams must submit their initial blueprints and project details to our official Gmail address for pre-approval before the main event.
