Empowering Innovation for a Sustainable Future

About the Event

Code With WIE 2025 marks the 7th edition of the annual innovation challenge hosted by IEEE Women in Engineering (WIE) Sri Lanka. This year’s theme, “Empowering Future Through Innovations,” challenges undergraduates and fresh graduates to solve real-world problems across sectors such as Healthcare, Education, Elderly & Child Care, Agriculture, Tourism, and any other area where technology can make a positive change. The competition unfolds in four exciting phases:

Phase 1: Awareness & Outreach

Spreading the word, igniting interest, and encouraging participation among undergraduates and fresh grads.

Phase 2: Training & Mentorship

Exclusive workshops and 1:1 mentorship sessions to support teams in shaping their ideas and solutions.

Phase 3: Solution Development

Teams develop design blueprints or working prototypes showing their solution’s core functionality.

Phase 4: Final Pitch & Recognition

Finalists pitch their innovations live and stand a chance to win prizes, recognition, and growth opportunities.
