We are hosting Sri Lanka's first-ever Tech-Triathlon, a competition that combines Engineering, User Experience (UX), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to foster the development of well-rounded tech experts. Modern software development doesn’t happen in isolation. To build a successful digital product, you need great engineering, design, and also AI. These 3 pillars, combined, give us the chance to craft a winning product.
Over the years, at Rootcode, we have helped many businesses build and release successful digital products. One main reason behind our success story is the strong collaboration between our three divisions, Rootcode Labs, Rootcode Studio, and Rootcode AI, bringing in great engineering, Design, and AI to build winning products.
Through Tech-Triathlon, our aim is to provide a platform where tech enthusiasts get to experience how modern products are built and also compete to win the title.
The Competition
The competition will happen in three phases. The first stage is a designathon, where participants will design a solution to the given challenge. The next stage is a hackathon, where they will develop a part of a software application, and then in the third stage, datathon, participants will tackle a data and AI challenge. Winners will be chosen based on their combined performance in all three stages.
Grand Finale and the Prizes
We have planned a physical grand finale and awards ceremony to celebrate the winners of the Tech-Triathlon. The ceremony will be held on the 2nd of September, where the finalist teams will present their solution to a panel of judges from Rootcode, and the winners will be crowned.
We have prepared exciting prize pools to reward the Tech-Triathlon winners. The winning team will receive a cash prize of LKR 500,000, while the first runners-up will be awarded LKR 200,000, and the second runners-up will receive LKR 100,000.
Apart from the cash prizes, winners will also get a chance to receive consultation from the Rootcode team on how to win in their careers. Winning teams of the Tech-triathlon will also have the opportunity to be fast-tracked for our internships. Additionally, we will recognize the teams’ achievements, and their work will be spotlighted on our Tech-Triathlon website.
