The hackathon will consist of three phases:

Phase One

Teams will brainstorm ideas, and mentors will assist teams in starting to build their solutions.

Phase Two

Teams will begin prototyping and building their solutions. Mentors will provide guidance on building solutions, and there will be evaluations and feedback sessions.

Phase Three

Teams will submit their working solutions. After evaluation, the top 10 teams will present their solutions to judges, with each team given 10 minutes.

0101
The hackathon will commence at 12 PM on May 4th, 2024 and conclude at 7 AM on May 5th, 2024. There will be no extensions granted.

Teams must submit their final projects via GitHub. They will receive GitHub repositories where they can submit their code along with the deployed solution. Any solution that is not deployed or not in the build form will be disregarded. Additionally, teams must submit a short video explaining their solution. If shortlisted, they will pitch their solution to judges and complete a submission form, including a link to their demo site and a short demo video.
