The stage is set for one final adventure through the enchanting Lands of Ignition as the cast of characters (nay, competitors) for the 2025 Build-a-Thon has been selected.
Next stop along the journey is the Build-a-Thon Elimination Challenge. There, 24 teams will square off – and show off their SCADA skills, programming prowess, collaboration capabilities, and Ignition intelligence while nimbly navigating 10 fantasy-themed quests with help (and mischief) from Ignition sprites. This virtual adventure in automation is set for 1 p.m. PDT on August 7 and will be livestreamed on YouTube.
