About This Event

Silicon, the VLSI Forum of PESU, invites you to its star event!
Design. Debug. Dominate.

A design-first, CTF-style hardware hackathon with open ended solutions, built for real problem-solvers. Decode challenges, race against time, and turn logic into victory! 
Hardware platforms including FPGAs, will be available throughout the event, wherever necessary. Team up, think sharp, and prove you’ve got what it takes to own the silicon.

Register now! (LIMITED SLOTS!). Cash Prizes will be awarded to the winners! https://forms.gle/kDboRGAUUggkBqZ37
Last date for registration - 15th February, Sunday. No registration fee!
