About the event
Vibe-a-Thon is a fast-paced, on-site build challenge. A surprise problem statement is revealed, and you turn it into a working digital solution in a single continuous session.
Teams go through the full cycle of ideation, development, testing and a live prototype demo. Judges score the prototype itself.
