Rules
  • The hackathon begins from the moment teams register. So, the sooner teams register, the more time they will have to work on the problem statements. Once the submission deadline ends, the top 25 teams will be invited to appear for the finals on Sunday, 24th November 2024.
  • All teams invited to the finals should report in person to the AU Incubation Center (ā hub) at 9 AM. Late comers may lose their spot to standby teams face space limitations.
  • The problem statements can be found here (PDF).
  • Participating teams are to find a solution to any one of the problems. For this edition teams can submit their solutions to up to two problems. Participants should submit prototypes or a functional simulation of their solution.
  • The solutions must be the own work of participating teams.
  • Participants should have their own equipment and consumables to help them develop a solution.
  • In phase 1 of the hackathon, teams will submit their presentation and a video demonstrating their solution. This must be completed by the registration deadline as only the top 25 teams selected in the first round will be invited to phase 2 on 24 November.
  • In phase 2, the top 25 teams will present their solution in person to the judges. This will involve a live demo of the solution. Each team will be given a maximum of 7 minutes to present their solution.
  • ONLY participating teams that are present for the valedictory will be awarded certificates of participation.
  • You can join the HackAP Hackathon group to receive notifications for this and other hackathons.
