About this event
CHAOS is an 8-hour on-site hackathon hosted by the IEEE Student Branch. Teams of 2 to 4 students build a working software solution from scratch against a real-world problem, judged live at the end of the day — no recorded demos, no slide-only submissions. Problem statements are revealed only on the day itself, so no team walks in pre-prepared. Every team starts from zero and builds the entire product within the same eight hours. What sets CHAOS apart is its Buffs & Debuffs wheel. Four times throughout the day, a spin on the main screen hands the entire hall either a helpful perk or a fun, bothersome restriction (voice-only coding, no Enter key, whisper-mode communication) for the next thirty minutes. Every team faces the same twist at the same time, keeping the day unpredictable without affecting anyone's score. CHAOS gives students a full problem-to-demo cycle in a single day, under the same pressure and unpredictability. Judging is on 15 October 2026, 5:00–7:30 PM, live demos only (no slides or recordings), within the 11:30 AM–7:30 PM event.
