Prometeo’20 was the first edition of IIT Jodhpur's National Technical Festival. It derives its name from the Greek word for the fore thinker and celebrated disruptive technologies through talks, workshops, and competitions. This year's theme for Prometeo’20 was 'Emerging Technologies for Sustainable Development' with the objective to address and discuss the possible challenges and solutions towards the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The UN identifies 17 such goals expected to be achievable by 2030. The events of this year's Prometeo’20 revolve primarily around the goals with technology-driven solutions.
The Prometeo’20 mainly focused on Technical Events/Hackathons and Workshops. There were 9 technical events and 4 workshops targeting the 17 SDGs as demarcated by the UN. The fest witnessed a footfall of 600-700 students from across the Jodhpur with active participation from IIT Jodhpur.
