02 What a village is

A workbench, not a lecture

No start time, no talk to sit through. Stay five minutes or all afternoon.

  • No sign-up

    Walk over when you are ready. Leave when you like.

  • Nobody is testing you

    Asking the obvious question is the point.

  • Ask before you touch

    Check what you can handle or connect at each table.

04 Run a village

Teach one thing for one day

No form, no deadline. New topics are welcome.

  1. 01 Email a paragraph

    The subject, what visitors do, what you bring.

  2. 02 List what you need

    Table space, power, network. We confirm before promising.

  3. 03 Say who helps

    A full day goes easier in rotation. We can find hands.

  4. 04 Or lend kit

    A lockpick set, a bench rig or an SDR helps too.

Email your idea to [email protected]. Everyone running a table agrees to the code of conduct.

06 Questions

Village questions

Do villages cost extra?

No. Every full pass covers them. The ₹799 CTF competitor pass is for day one only, so it does not.

Do I need any experience?

None. A student picking a lock for the first time is exactly who the floor is for.

Which villages are confirmed?

None yet. Each of the six needs a volunteer for the day and, usually, their own kit. The confirmed list goes up with the programme.

Can I run one that is not on the list?

Yes. The six are a plan, not a menu. Email what people would do at your table.

Bring an idea to the floor.
