Excited? So are we! Please use this devpost listing to add or remove team-members and your team will also be using this listing to submit your projects!
Requirements
WHAT TO BUILD
The sky is your limit, create a website, game, app or anything else. If you would like to win a prize however, we will be announcing some prize categories in the opening ceremoney that can help you aim towards a specific theme.
WHAT TO SUBMIT
You will be a submitting a link to a Public github repository.
Your code must be in the "main" or "master" branch of the repository. Code in other branches will not be checked and may prevent you from presenting.
Your project must have been coded within the time period of 1:00 PM February 20 to 1:00PM February 21. Projects worked on outside this period will be disqualified.
Your team must have at most 5 members, and all members must be registered with the hackathon through our form.
Teams with more than 5 members or members who are not registered will be disqualified.
Projects will be judged in-person in front of judges in the EITC Atrium and will be graded based on a rubric that is available to judges.
For each Participant in a team, write down your first name, last name and your registered email address alongside the github repo link

Prizes
Master of .devHacks
Project with the most amount of points.
Rookie of the Year
This award celebrates strong fundamentals, creativity, and technical growth demonstrated by participants who declare themselves as participating in their first hackathon.
Impact Excellence Hack
This award honors teams whose solutions go beyond technical execution to address a clear problem affecting a community, industry, or user group.
Chaotic-Good Hack
This category celebrates controlled chaos: unexpected concepts, humorous execution, experimental designs, or delightfully absurd solutions — while still delivering real functionality and value.
Aesthetically Pleasing Hack
This category evaluates how thoughtfully a project's visual elements support usability, clarity, and overall presentation. Centering on UI design, aesthetic appeal can range from cool and modern to cute and elegant.
Qdoc's Challenge:QDoc's Challenge: Smart Vaccine Eligibility and Reminder System
**The Problem**
Patients often:
- Don’t know which vaccines they are eligible for
- Forget booster schedules
- Miss age-based or risk-based immunizations
- Lose track of vaccination history
Clinics struggle with:
- Manual eligibility checks
- Tracking booster timelines
- Reaching patients at the right time
- Preventing missed immunizations
**The Challenge**
Build a system that:
- Determines vaccine eligibility based on:
- Age
- Medical history
- Last dose date
- Risk factors (e.g.: chronic conditions, pregnancy, immunocompromised status)
- Identifies overdue or upcoming vaccines
- Sends intelligent reminders
- Displays a patient-friendly immunization timeline
**Features:**
- Patient Profile Input
- A simple interface where users can enter their information (e.g.: Demographics, DOB, chronic conditions, vaccination history)
- Can mock patient profiles, upload CSV or use a form-based input
- Vaccine Rule Engine
- Create a rule-based eligibility engine either from scratch using custom logic or using an open-source rule engine framework.
- Reference examples:
- Manitoba vaccine eligibility: https://www.gov.mb.ca/health/publichealth/cdc/vaccineeligibility.html
- Manitoba immunization schedules: https://www.gov.mb.ca/health/publichealth/cdc/div/schedules.html
- The system should check patient data, apply rule logic and determine which vaccines are eligible now, due soon, overdue and not eligible.
- Simplified/mocked rules are fine.
- Immunization Timeline Visualization
- Display completed, due soon, overdue, and not eligible vaccines.
- Display vaccination history with a timeline.
- Include clear visual indications (e.g.: color-coded status)
- Smart Reminder System
- Identify vaccines due within x days.
- Simulate email reminder, SMS alert, and/or in-app notification.
