Requirements

What to Build

You can build anything you want, but something related to the theme will be revealed on the first day of the hackathon during the opening ceremony. This ensures that all projects are developed within the given timeframe, allowing everyone to have a fair chance.

Things you can bring to build with:

Laptop and charger
Any hardware or devices relevant to your project (e.g., Arduino, Raspberry Pi)
Software or tools you’ll need to code, design, or build your solution
Any other accessories that may help bring your idea to life!

What to Submit

Project Demo Video

Create a brief demo video (3-5 minutes) that highlights your project’s functionality, key features, and how it boosts productivity. Walk through the user experience and explain how your solution addresses the hackathon theme. This video will provide judges with a clear view of your project in action. Upload it to YouTube or Vimeo and include the link in your Devpost submission.

Related Files

Upload all necessary project files, including code, executable files, or other components directly to Devpost. Ensure your submission is well-organized and contains everything needed to run or evaluate the project. If you're using a public repository (e.g., GitHub), provide the repository link in your submission.
