Welcome to the JARVIS Open Source Challenge — an open innovation hackathon inspired by Iron Man’s AI assistant.
This is your chance to imagine, design, and build your own version of JARVIS — a system that makes life simpler, smarter, or just plain cooler.
Teams will conceptualize and/or build a unique functionality or feature that JARVIS could perform.
You have to:
- Code it — create a working prototype, script, or integration.
- Conceptualize it — design a detailed demo, flow, or simulation showing what your JARVIS can do.
REMEMBER: The goal isn’t just polished code — it’s creativity, innovation, and real-world impact.
- Fork this repository and create a folder with your team name.
- Include:
- A
README.mddescribing your concept or build. - Any code, mockups, or presentation materials.
- A
- Submit a pull request before the deadline (16th October, 11:59pm).
Projects will be evaluated based on:
- Creativity & Originality – How bold or novel is your idea?
- Functionality – Does it work, or could it work with refinement?
- Impact – Does it solve a real problem or make something meaningfully better?
- Presentation – How clearly and effectively do you communicate the idea?
| Date | Event | Details |
|---|---|---|
| 13th Oct | Workshop | Intro to the git and github. 🎯 Attending earns bonus 10 points. |
| 14th Oct | Online Kick-off | Project brief and Q&A session (virtual). |
| 14th–16th Oct | Hackathon (Online) | Work on your ideas and submit by the deadline. |
| 16th Oct – 11:59 PM | Submission Deadline | All projects must be submitted via pull request. |
| 17th Oct | Demo Day | Final presentations and demos in Room G34. Order of presentation list will be out once submissions are complete. |
The winning project will be submitted to MIT’s Open Source Initiative for review and potential inclusion.
⚠️ Note: Submission to MIT's repo does not guarantee selection — but it’s a real opportunity to showcase your work on a global stage.
The TOP TEAMS WIN CASH PRIZES TOO!
- Think beyond code — voice, vision, prediction, automation, emotion, intuition — what could JARVIS really be?
- Combine fields: AI, IoT, robotics, UX, even psychology.
- Keep your repo tidy and your explanation human-readable.
