Topic: Civic Hero: Save Your City

Date: 14th October, 2026
Timing: 02:00 PM to 04:00 PM

Event Description

SOFTEK is more than a coding challenge—it is a call to action. Design with purpose. Code with compassion. Be the Civic Hero your city needs. This event invites students to design and develop an original computer game that addresses real-world civic challenges such as traffic safety, pollution control, waste management, cyber safety, emergency response or water conservation.

Through interactive gameplay and thoughtful design, participants will demonstrate how technology can educate, inspire and empower citizens to build smarter, safer and more responsible communities.

SOFTEK celebrates Digital Humanity by reminding us that when technology is guided by empathy and responsibility, it becomes a powerful force for social good. Let your game not just entertain—let it enlighten too.
