HackNU 2.0

27th May - 3rd June


This summer, we bring an invincible opportunity for the students of NIIT University to ideate, innovate, collaborate and craft solutions to the most trivial, yet unsolved, problems that the world faces today. Coupled with exciting workshops, tech sprints and a lot of fun activities, join us to witness 150+ undergraduate students compete on about half a dozen tracks with their creative ideas.

Tracks

#PowerOfVoice

We can do a lot with our voices, sounds and words than just convey. Can we make technology more expressive using the same concepts? Build something on voice assistants or let your code make your next EDM party track, the possibilities here are endless.

#Pathshala

We are leading towards an age of e-learning. Can we move any closer to the usual classroom experience while still sitting behind our screens (or not 😛)?

#VirtuoConnect

Quite relevant to the current scenario where each sector is working towards achieving better connectivity, not just in terms of the internet but also about how we can virtually come closer to reality? Augmented, maybe?


#ThisPandemic

More about rising to transform the situation we are all witnessing, but can you think beyond just the lines of simply playing with the count data various governments are providing?

#LocalFocal

How about we start innovating and build something to make our Life@NU better? Or maybe something that can make student life productive at the same time? Might just end up making you popular on campus 😎

#GoodKarma

Can we build something to give back to society and earn some good karma points?

#Atmanirbhar

The Open Track for those who don’t want to quarantine their amazing ideas in their heads? From blockchain to supply chain, let’s break the chains ⛓

Our Workshops

We want you to grab and learn as much as you can from this hackathon!

Basics of Git and Github

“Looking to get started with Git and GitHub? Do you need to collaborate with a team? …do you really just want to contribute to your first open source project? This one’s for you!”

Building APIs with Python and Flask

“Web APIs are tools for making information and application functionality accessible over the internet. Learn how to set up a basic Application Programming Interface (API) to make your data more accessible to users. ”

Introduction to Node.js and Express

“Express is a Node.js Web Framework. Node.js is an amazing tool for building networking services and applications. Express builds on top of its features to provide easy to use functionality that satisfy the needs of the Web Server use-case.”
