You should check out OCCRA or Project Falafel. They both try and aim at the build season expereince (as far as I know, being in Israel my team only participated in Project Falafel, though I believe OCCRA has the same purpose). Those two events can serve you as inspiration for your project if you choose to do it, or, if you don't want to do all the GDC stuff yourself, you can participate in OCCRA (you're also welcome to come to Israel to compete in Project Falafel, but if you're going to come to israel you might as well want to come to our regional...)
If you have any questions about Project Falafel I'd gladly answer.
