Ideathon are brainstorming events where people with diverse backgrounds, talents and
interests get together to solve complex predetermined problems, and propose effective solutions.
An Ideathon may require ideas, a solution, a roadmap or an actionable plan. Teams will
be required to leverage cutting edge technologies to develop futuristic ideas, solutions, roadmaps
or even an actionable plan. While implementation is not necessary, a thorough approach to the
problem is expected. A range of complex existing problems will be available to

Professionals and amateurs from a range of engineering disciplines came together for the
"Ideathon event outcome" to investigate the complex nexus of engineering expertise, ethics,
teamwork, problem-solving, and communication. Participants developed their problem-solving,
communication, and ethical awareness through stimulating talks, interdisciplinary teamwork, and
skill-building activities. This event strengthened a community devoted to ethical engineering
practices by highlighting the moral implications of technology and highlighting the need of
cooperation when tackling difficult problems.
