This year\u2019s theme, <strong>Classic IoT &amp; Edge AI<\/strong>, offers participants a choice between a traditional &#8220;device-to-cloud&#8221; approach and the development of autonomous systems with local data processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, students from all over Ukraine are once again invited to participate. The initiative provides young engineers with an opportunity to move beyond theory and turn their IoT ideas into working hardware prototypes, demonstrating their engineering potential and creative approach. The grand finale will traditionally take place at LNU, this time in the format of an open engineering exhibition<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Who can participate?<\/strong> The challenge is open to students of Ukrainian higher education institutions. You can apply individually or as a team of up to 5 members. This is a unique opportunity for those who have been considering an IoT solution but haven&#8217;t had the chance to bring it to lifeIoT solution idea they have long considered but never had the chance to implement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>IoT Challenge 2026 Timeline:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Registration (March 26 &#8211; April 8):<\/strong> Submit a description of your project idea and its technical capabilities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Development (April 9 &#8211; May 6):<\/strong> Teams have one month to build their prototypes.
