Themes for Oakridge Codefest (2022)
Teams are expected to use at least one primary theme for their project but are advised to choose two or more themes. For more information regarding the themes please email us at oakcodefest@oakridge.in
STEM Simulation
This exciting new theme will give participants the opportunity to design a simulation based on STEM principles. The project can take multiple directions, including but not limited to data science, physics, economics, and more
Examples: Fluid simulation, circuit builder, model solar system
Education
Education develops effective leaders and innovators of tomorrow. Technology has played a significant role in recent years in allowing education to have a larger reach and allowing the teaching and learning processes to occur more smoothly. Especially during the current pandemic, the internet and video call services have allowed for learning to continue even while we are restricted at home. How can you use your technological skills to improve education?
Examples: Worksheet Generator and Note Taking App
Environmental Sustainability
Sustainability refers to creating a world that can be prosperous and habitable for future generations, and as society progresses, technology will be the at the crux of maintaining sustainability. From new and more efficient uses of energy to combating deforestation, technology's importance to sustainability has been especially pronounced in recent years. What can you do with technology to create a more sustainable world?
Examples: Carbon Footprint Calculator and Smart Bulb
Healthcare
Health care is an essential service, and our ability to provide quality health care as well as store, share and analyze health information is directly tied to improved technology. Particularly with the current situation of the COVID-19 pandemic, technology has been used to create solutions to track and minimize the spread of the virus. We look forward to seeing what technological creations you will develop to contribute to this field.
Examples: Fitness Tracker and Smart Health Monitor
Game Development (6-8th Grade)
Video games are a great way to have fun and learn code at the same time!
For this theme, we expect participants to be creative and innovative and have some kind of unique idea or message in it. Participants need to use programming languages and drag and drop/WYSIWYG applications such as Scratch and MIT App Inventor are strictly not allowed.
