Dev Fusion is a student hackathon by GDG on Campus IPEC that blends Web3, Blockchain, and AI to solve real‑world problems. Teams first submit a concise problem statement and proposed solution online; shortlisted teams then build and demo during a 24‑hour on‑site finale at IPEC, Ghaziabad. Beginners are welcome—mentors and community support will guide projects from idea to demo.
