What is a hackathon?

What is a hackathon?

A hackathon is a 24-hour event, where a team of four students build a software or hardware project, referred to as a ‘hack’. Themes and challenges guide teams toward an idea, and using cutting-edge technologies such as IoT or AI students bring them to life.

After 24 hours of caffeine-infused ‘hacking’, all teams demonstrate their projects to judges. During the closing ceremony, the winning teams go on stage, present their hack to the audience, and receive their prize!

HALL OF FAME

Welcome to the Hall of Fame, where we honor the top 3 winning teams from last year’s hackathon. Their innovative projects stood out, showcasing creativity and technical excellence.

Spartan

Every morning, Tim's alarm goes off. He snoozes it, then snoozes it again, and then scrolls on YouTube shorts for a while before finally getting out of bed. He looses over 30 minutes a day, everyday, for nothing. Tim, like most of his peers, suffers from laziness. Well Spartan is about to change this. Studies show that light, sound and physical exercise, all decrease melatonin and adenosine levels and increase cortisol levels in our bodies. This productivity tool combines all three and forces the user to wake up as quick as possible.

MotiSpectra

MotiSpectra is our answer to the awkwardness of online meetings, especially after COVID-19 turned everything virtual. We realized that emojis in chat just weren't cutting it, and there's so much more to a conversation than words. Inspired by the 7-38-55 Rule, which proclaims that only 7% of our communication comes verbally, we decided to create a tool that helps you read the room, or in this case, the screen. With MotiSpectra, you can finally figure out if your coworker is pumped or just zoning out, making those virtual meetings a tad less robotic and much more human. It's like bringing back the vibes of in-person chats (without leaving your comfy home office chair!)

Avada Kedavra

The inspiration for "Avada Kedavra," the hand-controlled wizard game, stemmed from a desire to create an immersive and interactive gaming experience. Drawing inspiration from popular wizardry themes in fantasy literature and films, such as the Harry Potter series, we aimed to bring the magic to life through a unique and hands-on gameplay experience.

ANY QUESTIONS?

Your guide to everything you need to know about our hackathon experience and participation!

A hackathon is where tech enthusiasts gather to ignite their creativity and share ideas. It is where 'hackers' come together, forming teams to build innovative software or hardware projects from the ground up within a given timeframe. The question remains, what do they create? The answer: Imagination knows no bounds.
