Judge at Smart Make-A-Thon Hackathon | IEM Kolkata (SMF 2025)
- 📍 Venue: IEM Management House, Kolkata
✨ On 7th September 2025, I had the incredible opportunity to visit IEM (Institute of Engineering and Management, Block-GP) as a Judge for the Smart Make-A-Thon Hackathon, an innovation-driven event organized as part of the annual tech fest Smart Makers Festival (SMF 2025).
🔹 A total of 24 talented teams participated, each presenting their innovative projects. I had the privilege to interact with every team, understand their ideas, and evaluate their work based on multiple parameters including:
- UI/UX design
- Innovation & creativity
- Functionality & technical execution
- Market adaptability & demand
- Scalability & feasibility
- Presentation & teamwork
🔹 After detailed evaluation, I compiled the scores and shared the final results with the core organizing team.
💡 The most memorable moment was being invited on stage by the core team to receive a memento as a Judge. As a student myself, getting the chance to visit another college in the role of a judge was truly a proud and surreal experience.
This opportunity not only inspired me but also motivated me to keep exploring, learning, and contributing to the tech community. 🚀
