What to Build

Throughout the 24 hours, participants are provided with the necessary resources and support, such as mentors, workshops, and tech support, to help them bring their ideas to life. At the end of the hackathon, teams present their solutions to a panel of judges, who evaluate them based on their creativity, technical excellence, and practicality.

 

This hackathon is an excellent opportunity for individuals and teams to showcase their skills, network with peers, and gain valuable experience in problem-solving and teamwork. It is also an excellent platform for businesses, organizations, and government agencies to identify and support innovative solutions to complex problems.
