BOLT INNOVATION CHALLEGE

We also plan to continue our engagement with various technical colleges via the Innovation challenge we are organising. In this email, I want to share more about this 'Bolt IoT and ML Innovation Challenge.' As part of this challenge, we take a few selected students from some of the prestigious colleges of India, such as St. Xavier's College, Kolkata and train them on the concepts of IoT and ML. This training is followed by a project competition between them to choose the most innovative students from India.


The competition will be judged by some of the experts who have worked at organisations like Amazon. The competition will be an excellent opportunity for the students to showcase their talent and skills at an all India level.



What are the steps for the Bolt IoT and ML Innovation Challenge?


Step1: Students will have to answer a scholarship test to qualify for participating in the competition. The qualifying students will also get the IoT and ML training for FREE. They only need to purchase the necessary hardware kit required to build the hands-on projects during the training as well as the competition. To answer the scholarship, students have to visit https://info.boltiot.com/iotmlscholarship

Step 2: Our team of developers will train the students on the concepts of IoT and ML via online video training.

Step 3: The students have to build an innovative project in the area of IoT or ML by applying the learnings during the training.

Step 4: The winners will be judged by engineers who have worked at prestigious organisations like Amazon.



Why should students participate?


Learning opportunity: Learn IoT and ML for FREE and pay only for the hardware kit required to build various hands-on projects as part of the training and competition.

What is in it for the colleges?

Other critical points:

  • The option of a full refund on hardware kit: In case the students are not happy with the hardware or the training offered to them as part of the challenge, then they can return it and get full refund as per the refund policy. This ensures that there is no risk for students or the faculty involved in the process.
