A 7-week challenge where student teams go from raw idea to working AI prototype — with mentorship, live demos, and a grand finale. No experience required. Just the will to build.
Nexus 1.0 guides teams from raw idea to working prototype across 7+ weeks. No experience required — just curiosity, a team, and the drive to build something that matters.
Three real student problems. Pick one, build an AI solution, make an impact. Scroll to see all three.
Registration → Idea → Prototype → Live Demo → Finale
All webinars are mandatory. They cover AI frameworks, tools, and problem-solving approaches. Every team member must join the WhatsApp group before registration closes.
Generic AI mentions score lower. Be specific — say "fine-tuned LLaMA-3 for sentiment analysis" not just "we'll use AI". Specificity signals seriousness.
Your demo video is your first impression. Script it. Show the AI working live. Highlight the before/after of the student pain point you solved in under 60 seconds.
Prepare for edge-case questions. Judges will try to break your demo. Have fallback scenarios ready. Run 3+ full practice demos with your whole team before the day.
Judges value real-world impact metrics in the finale. If your prototype has any actual users or test data, put that front and centre. Numbers always win over slides.
Registration closes 6 March 2026. Don't miss the window — spots are limited to ensure every team gets real mentor access.
