Scope:
Showcase originality, technical complexity, and an engaging user experience. -
Participants:
First-year (Freshman) students only. -
Timeline:
5 Days- Start Date: 31st March, 10 AM

No AI-Generated Code:
You may use AI tools for debugging or assistance, but directly copying AI-generated code is strictly prohibited. -
Originality:
All implementations must be original. Plagiarism will lead to disqualification. -
Open-Source Inspiration:
If you use any open-source project as inspiration, please cite it in your documentation. -
Documentation:
Your project must include comprehensive documentation detailing:- How each NPM package is utilized.
- The APIs used in your project and their integration process.
Please refer to the following document for the complete list of required NPM packages and APIs:

Note: NPM Packages Categorized by Difficulty. Please refer to the provided document for the complete list of NPM packages and their respective difficulty levels.
-
Easy Packages:
Each easy package used will earn you 1 point. -
Medium Packages:
Each medium package used will earn you 3 points. -
Hard Packages:
Each hard package used will earn you 5 points.
- Each API contains 5 points
Note: To be eligible for points, the packages and APIs must be used meaningfully within your project. Simply including a package or api without proper implementation will not count towards your score.
-
Develop Your Project:
Create your application in your own GitHub repository with well-structured code and proper documentation. -
Record an Explanatory Video:
Create a video explaining how you have used the NPM packages and APIs in your project. The video should:- Walk through the application features.
- Explain your implementation process.
- Highlight the integration and usage of each package/API.
-
Fork the Official Repository:
Fork the repository provided by the organizers. -
Add Your Submission File:
In your forked repository, create a new file named with your roll number (e.g.,LXX20240XX.md). This file should include:- The link to your project’s GitHub repository.
- The link to your explanatory video.
-
Submit a Pull Request (PR):
Create a pull request to merge your submission file into the main repository. Use a clear and descriptive commit message.
You can earn extra points by:
- Using underrated NPM packages (with fewer than 10k weekly downloads).
- Developing and integrating your own NPM package or API.
- Creating a uniquely innovative solution that stands out from the rest.
Projects will be evaluated on:
- Overall project quality.
- Effective usage of APIs.
- Effective usage of packages.
- Technical complexity.
- Documentation and usability.
- Uniqueness and creativity.
- Code readability and best practices.
- Organized file structure.
-
Submission Integrity:
Please follow the GitHub workflow precisely—fork the repository, create your submission file, and submit a pull request. -
Creativity & Innovation:
Beyond meeting the functional requirements, we encourage you to showcase creative problem-solving and innovative design.
