EVENT DESCRIPTION:-
Do you feel that the internet has been the most significant idea to have ever been conceived, among the many revolutionary technologies across human history? Do you believe that to better understand our surroundings, and in turn, ourselves, we must enhance ourselves with many smaller smart devices working with us in tandem?
At the outset of a new era of smarter and intelligent systems interacting with one another, the Internet of Things has kickstarted an age where people can augment themselves with remote interconnected devices. Pragyan’ 18 presents ‘IoT Challenge’, an event for aspiring tech enthusiasts to exhibit their innovative ideas to a wider audience.
Get ready to tinker with cutting-edge tech ideas and revolutionize our everyday lives.

Round 2:
After shortlisting the abstracts from round 1, this is the follow-up stage where the participants would be contacted to inquire about their progress and guided if necessary.
Round 3:
The participants are supposed to exhibit their models and also give a PowerPoint presentation for around 4-5 minutes, explaining their idea and implementation.

PROBLEM STATEMENT:-
With ‘data’ playing a crucial role in IoT, the participants can come up with efficient solutions using the data gathered in any one of the following areas given (or) implement any of your own ideas too.
These topics are listed below to just give you a head-start to the domain of IoT.
Transportation:
