Tracks

01

Software

Intelligent Augmentation

Build software that enhances human capabilities rather than replacing them. Create smart assistants, adaptive interfaces, or backend agents that support users and know when to step in and when to step back.

02

Hardware

Symbiotic Systems

Design physical systems that seamlessly integrate with human action. Build drones, robots, or embedded devices with intuitive control and shared autonomy— where machines assist, adapt, and respond naturally.

About the Hackathon

The HackData Hackathon is a 24-hour national hackathon where student teams come together to build impactful software and hardware solutions to real-world problem statements. From ideation to execution, participants work against the clock to design and develop functional prototypes.

The hackathon features teams of 2–4 members competing in a fast-paced, collaborative environment. Projects are judged on innovation, technical execution, relevance to the problem statement, and overall impact.
