Think outside the box,
code inside the lines
At Hackdata, innovation knows no bounds. Bring your boldest ideas to life, collaborate with top minds, and tackle real-world challenges with cutting-edge technology.
Tracks
Software
Create software that partners with users—algorithms that handle the heavy lifting while humans stay in control. Think smart assistants, augmented interfaces, or backend agents that know when to step in and when to step back.
Hardware
Build physical systems that work alongside humans—drones that co-navigate, robots that assist rather than replace, or embedded devices with intuitive control loops. Make autonomy feel like collaboration.
Competitions
Competitive Programming
Teams of two go head-to-head in fast coding duels built around algorithms and data structures. It’s sharp, skill-based, and great for anyone who loves problem-solving under pressure. Featuring insights from an ICPC finalist to help you improve your competitive coding game.
Capture The Flag
A cybersecurity puzzle chase where you hunt for digital flags by solving challenges in web security, steganography, and more. With a live scoreboard and plenty of brain-twisters, it’s the perfect intro to cybersecurity through hands-on problem-solving.
About Hackdata
Hackdata, a student organised hackathon caters to Delhi NCR and nearby institutions. Hosted by the GDG and ACM chapter of SNU in association with its Computer Science Engineering Department, Hackdata is born out of true coding culture.
