Rounds
Bio-Design Workshop
The Guest Speaker Workshop at BIDFest 2025 features distinguished experts in biomimicry and bioinspired design, offering insights into cutting-edge innovations and real-world applications. This session is a unique opportunity to learn from industry leaders, engage in thought-provoking discussions, and gain valuable knowledge to enhance problem-solving and design skills.
Poster Making
Participants select a problem statement from the announced themes and present their solution through a digital poster. The poster should illustrate their idea with visuals and references.
Make-a-Thon
Teams bring their ideas to life by constructing a 3D model or prototype using provided materials such as cardboard, thermocol, and IoT components. The prototype must align with the original solution proposed in Round 1.
Rebuttal
Teams present their 3D models, explaining their concept and design. A Q&A session follows, where other teams can challenge or inquire about their approach. Presentations are evaluated on clarity, integration, and ability to answer questions.
BIDCoin
Finalists enter a Shark Tank-style pitch, presenting their model’s market feasibility to a panel of judges. Judges bid on the most promising solutions, engaging in negotiations and discussions. Teams must defend their ideas and convince the judges to “invest” in their product.
