Pclub is a community of students who are highly enthusiastic about coding, web development, and other aspects of programming.PClub organizes various activities and open source projects like software freedom day, Hacktoctoberfest, AI-Saturdays, and others that encourage a lot of students to contribute and gain knowledge. Apart from this, it organized PClub Summer of Code (PSOC) in 2020 which was a great success in the inaugural year itself. 

This year Pclub brings HackUIET which is UIET, PU’s premier hackathon organized in the month of November. In this event, we witness hackers, artists, and coders from all over the country joining in the contest to innovate and learn from others’ innovations. This year’s event will be held from 12th November to 14th November. Throughout the weekend, hackers at HackUIET will have unique opportunities to learn from each other trying to hand in new technologies. We are determined to have an all-inclusive and diverse group of students attending for a 48 hours sprint to build things, and most importantly, to learn.

Hosting Platforms are:

• For Registration process - D2C and Devpost
• For better reach and discussion - Discord
• For submission of work - GitHub

Themes For Hackathon

The HackUIET hackathon will last 48 hours. We put no restrictions to limit your creativity. We let your thoughts flow! We even promote hacks on the latest trends and news surrounding the tech arena. So, if you think you've got a cool and trendy idea with you, then HackUIET is the place for you!

The major goal and purpose of this hackathon are to empower students by mentoring and supporting them through Industry Experts and Professionals from around the world. We're committed to establishing a hackathon that uses technology and computers to promote social good or empower the post-pandemic lifestyle (the new normal) or something creative. The open-ended nature of this hackathon is there to tickle your creative bone and have a good time, along with getting a chance to win prizes.

Hackathon would be judged on the following parameters

• The deployability of your software
• Aptly trained AI model (if eligible)
• Plagiarism
• Apt use of blockchain (if eligible)
• Good UI/UX
• Scalability
• Inclusion of Open Source Licenses
• Readable and Linted code
  
  

For more information on evaluation criteria, Refer to the attachment given below.

Happy Coding !!

• Deployability of your software
  Provide a deployed website link or deployable docker container.
• Aptly trained AI model
  Provide the metrics of your AI model, that is if you have one. Your AI model and the model you chose to train it with will be taken into consideration.
• Plagiarism
  Plagiarised code will affect you negatively in evaluation.
• Apt use of blockchain
  Blockchain is a fad among software developers these days, your idea and your code will be evaluated to decide if blockchain or any web3 solutions were required for implementation or not.
• Ease of use and intuitive interface (Evaluation of UI/UX)
  The ease of use of your app would be judged. The UI/UX you use will certainly play a significant role not only for the users, but also for evaluation of your code for this hackathon
• Scalability
  Can your software scale? How many users can it serve and how fast?
• Apt business model
  What is the business model around your product/software like? Will it be profitable? What are your plans for getting monetary funding, if you do go about implementing your idea? How will the business costs be covered?
• Open Source Licenses
  Have you mentioned the open-source licenses of the open source dependencies you are using? Do mention them in readme or aggregate all the licenses in a single file.
• Bonus: Linting
  It would mean a lot if your code is readable.
