FAQs about MakerFest

1. Can you guys elaborate a little more on the event?

Ans: So this is an event in which we are going to

handpick people to give them the actual experience of
making a smartwatch with the features they want.

So in order to do this hand picking process, we have

a stage wise selection process:

● Stage-1 -- Learning aspect : You would be

given a set of questions for which the
resources will also be given so that you can
learn and answer those questions.This will
be released around 18th of December.

● Stage 2 - PCB designing :This is the skill

very much required for you to customize
your watch, as you can add required sensors
using PCB designing. So we will have a
session on this and then do a task of
designing your own PCB in that to test you.
 ● Stage-3-Hardware assembling - You may be
asked to assemble circuits using
microcontrollers and stuff which might test
your hardware aspect.

Based on three stages or aspects we will be shortlisting

you people to make watches in groups.

2.The Mode of this Event:

So by reading the answer for the first question you

would have realized that this is not a one day event.

The first stage is done by releasing the application

online and receiving entries online.

Rest all are offline only. It is a very long process

(making watch takes time right). It might go up to the first
week of March 2024.

3.Group or Individual?

So the whole selection process is to be done

individually.
The final stage of completely assembling the watch is
to be done in groups which we will make among the
people we shortlisted finally.
4.Materials to make the final product

This is not gonna worry any of the participants. We,

the organizers, are solely responsible for providing you.

And also NO FEE required to participate in this

MakerFest.

5.Prerequisites

The end time of this event will tell you that it is a

learning process. Even for the learning aspect stage,
resources are given. Please do follow that.

Mentioning it again no prerequisites are required.

This whole process will be structured in such a way
that you learn in it, and implement it as well.

6.Who can participate in it?

Anybody who has enthu to put the app, attend

sessions and stick on to the learning curve are welcomed
to enjoy the process.
7. What will we do in the watchmaking process?

I don’t want to make you feel like pulling off an Hill at

first. Let me put it up simply.

Once you get through the selection process, you will

completely build a watch, given a display and skills like
PCB designing and hardware assembling which we will
take sessions on well ahead of the time you need.

At last to re-emphasize on this thing:

THIS IS NOT A COMPETITION OR A ONE DAY EVENT.

THIS WILL GET YOU TO ENJOY A COMPLETE
LEARNING CURVE.
