What are the tracks for HackJaipur?

We don’t wanna limit you by providing some problem statements and research about them first. That’s why we have some tracks:

1. Diversity Diversity means the inclusion of all individuals as technology does not discriminate. How can technology help to increase diversity and maintain it?
2. Remotely Working As work from home is becoming is a widespread culture, technology can make the process easier. Any project that makes such an effort will fall into this category.
3. Tech and Health Technology can create sustainable and effective relations between a healthcare professional and the patient. It can also provide a cheaper, faster, and more beneficial solutions to prevent and battle illnesses.
4. Creating Awareness With the increase in the use of technology, the dangers have also increased. Awareness is the first step towards creating a better society and community. Awareness can be social, technical, or general.

Can students Attend?

Yes, this is a student-held hackathon only. We would love to have your participation.

What if I don't know how to code?

That is not a problem! A great way to learn how to code is by attending a hackathon. It's an event for like-minded people to share what they are interested in and teach each-other what they are passionate about, whether its coding, electronics or anything else you want to know about. You never know what new skill you might pick up! You can also ask specific questions to our mentors and in the Discord server, where people are there to help. Plus we have planned numerous workshops and talks for you guys to make the learning process better.
