About the challenge

Create a project that solves an issue and receive feedback! This is mainly an ideathon so there is no requirement for actual coding, a prototype made on Figma or Canva is perfectly fine. Slide presentations are also allowed.

It's best that the idea be original and new, you can improve on an existing solution but be sure to mention them in your presentation. You're allowed to reuse a project you have made before as long as it fits with the rules. You are also allowed to submit the project you created for this hackathon to other hackathons, provided that the other hackathons allow it as well.

Generative AI is allowed. However, you must consider that AI reuses already existing ideas as output, and anything generated by AI is very obvious. Do not worry about hiding AI usage as you can tell us if you have used AI, but if AI is detected and you lie about not using it you will be disqualified.

You may work individually or as a team of 2-4.

Make sure to check our judging criteria.

There will be no extensions.

Requirements

What to Create

A solution to a problem. It can be part of a sustainable development goal(s), an inconvenience in your daily life, a hidden problem that no one realizes, or a problem that has a solution but isn't effective, etc.

You can improve on an existing idea but you must mention them in your presentation video.

The project can be a for-profit or a non-profit/open-source if you wish.

What to Submit

A 3-5 minute video presenting your project. The issue you're solving, the solution, and how it can/is implemented should be clear. If the video is over 5 minutes, it will not be judged.

Any sources or AI models used to create the project.

Anything used in your video should be sent. For example, a working prototype link, public view slide presentation, github repository, etc.
