HackSprint

HackSprint is a 6-hour hackathon where creativity, coding, problem-solving, and adaptability come together. Teams will be given a challenge domain and will have to transform their ideas into a working web application within a limited time. But there's a twist — the challenge doesn't end with your initial idea. During the hackathon, teams will encounter a surprise challenge that will force them to rethink, adapt, and enhance their solution. How creatively your team responds to the unexpected could make all the difference. From ideation and development to deployment and pitching, HackSprint takes you through the complete journey of turning an idea into a product. The clock is ticking. The challenge is waiting. Will you outthink it?
