IdeateX: Stages and Timelines
Round 1: Place Your First Block
Every great build starts here. Submit your idea — whether it’s just mined or fully crafted. Tell us what you’re solving, how you’re building it, and what makes it shine.
Our judges will sift through the submissions like pros with Efficiency V, screening for the most original, clever, and impactful builds. Only the strongest ideas will be shortlisted.
Not sure which track to pick or what we’re looking for? Check out the full Track Explainer Document to understand each zone of innovation.
Note: We've provided a PPT template we believe will best showcase your work — download it via the “Brief/Case” button. You're free to use your own though.
Final Round: Face the Ender Dragon
You’ve made it to the End. Now it’s time to pitch your project to the panel — show your vision, execution, and creativity. Whether it’s a working prototype or a brilliant deck, bring your best tools to the fight. The final round will take place live at Heritage Institute of Technology, Kolkata Campus — so come prepared to battle it out in person. Only one team will emerge victorious — eyes on the prize! To those who didn’t make it: every block placed was part of the build. Keep crafting, keep exploring — your next big idea might just be one pickaxe swing away.
