Makers 2021

Makers tasks by SDSLabs.

Update: Makers is now open for designers as well, the same rules apply for the design track. We have added a design problem statement to the ideas list but following the spirit of Makers, you are free to choose your own problem statement as well.

Makers is an annual, one of a kind competition which lets you show off your awesome projects and ideas you make during the period of one month. You are allowed to work on your own ideas, but if you are out of one, we have curated a list of awesome ideas you can choose one from.

Rules

There are no ground rules but one - no plagarism. We will invalidate the submission if we find such case. After all, this competition is for learning. Deadline for submissions: 20 March 2021 2359 Hours.

Double check if you are in the SDSLabs open source discord server to interact with us. Keep an eye out on the discord server for important announcements. We'll also be organising Mentorship Weekends at the server during which SDSLabs members will be available throughout the weekend to assist you with your projects.

Eligibility

Any student of IIT Roorkee is eligible to make a submission and interact with us regarding their project. However, only freshers are eligible for the prizes. Also, Makers is an individual participation event.

Perks

The projects made by freshers which catch our eye will earn their makers a direct interview for SDSLabs recruitment.

Ideas

Find the ideas list for this edition of Makers here. There is no compulsion to work on an idea from this list, you're free to do anything as long as it involves making something with code.

Submission

For a valid submission, you would be needing a source repository link, demo page (if it's a web app) or executable (for native app). Make a PR to this repository, which

1. Adds a single Markdown (.md) file to the folder submissions/. A sample submission can be viewed here.
2. The name of the file should be unique and can contain only alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-) or underscores (_).

The file should contain basic information specified in the PR template, and any screenshots/media you might want to include. For making your applications live, we will provide you our own cloud hosting platform, which will make your deployments a breeze (Stay tuned for the official release 🙂)

Happy hacking!
