A tech fest seen from the sky—and the crowd

AI and applied computing
CIBC Hackathon and LPL WealthX explored practical applications of AI, including finance and wealth management.
Cybersecurity and problem solving
ContextCon Deccan CTF covered security challenges, while Divide and Conquer combined programming with Olympiad-style problems.
Building and experimentation
The lineup also included a game jam, a wall-climbing robotics challenge and quantum-themed game development.

The show
Campus identity, drawn with 200 points of light
The video moves between the aerial formations and people watching from campus. One clear sequence pairs an illuminated architectural outline with the letters IIITH; other shots capture lettering and changing shapes in the sky.
Each drone is one point of light. Readable lettering and clear outlines make the institution’s identity recognizable without treating the sky as a solid screen. This completed project gives organisers considering a drone show in Hyderabad a local example to discuss with their event team.
For another college or tech fest, the right fleet depends on the artwork, viewing distance and available site. Airoveda reviews the campus layout, airspace, audience separation, weather and logistics before confirming a new performance.
