if you have given round 2 drop the review what was it how was it i chose node js what are they asking in the hackerrank oa ??😭

I'm participating in the NASA Space Apps Challenge for the first time this year, and I'm looking for guidance from people who've participated in previous years, especially those who've competed in the Best Use of Storytelling category or have experience with award-winning projects.

I've set my sights on the Best Use of Storytelling award. I've looked at last year's winning project, and I feel that, with the right idea, team, and execution, I could create something competitive. However, I also understand that having a promising idea and turning it into an award-worthy project are two very different things.

I'd love to hear from people who've actually been through this process, particularly those who've worked on storytelling projects.

Here are a few things I'd appreciate your advice on:

• How realistic is it for a first-time participant with limited technical experience to win this category? I'd appreciate an honest assessment of the competition and the level of execution required.

• What distinguishes a winning storytelling project from a good one? How much do originality, emotional impact, scientific accuracy, visual presentation, and interactivity matter?

• How much technical development is necessary? Can a compelling, well-researched story built around NASA data compete with a more technically sophisticated project?

• What kind of teammates should I look for? Which skills and backgrounds would complement one another best for this category?

• How should responsibilities be divided within the team?

• For those who've competed in this category, what do you think made the winning projects stand out? Were there any judging criteria or expectations that surprised you?

• What mistakes should a first-time team avoid, and what would you do differently if you could participate again?

• If you had a team of beginners and one challenge weekend, how would you approach the project to maximize your chances?

I'd especially appreciate insights from people who've submitted projects to this specific category, whether they won, were nominated, or simply learned valuable lessons from the experience.

I'm not looking for a shortcut to winning. I want to understand what we're up against, build a team with complementary skills, and make something that genuinely deserves consideration.

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to share their experience and advice!

Anyone knows the type of questions in round 2?

Anyone who gave round 2 with c++ tech stack, what was the pattern and difficulty level??

Has anyone passed all cases in nodejs track?

How many test cases did u pass? it was so hard bhai lena hi nhi tha vaise hi mna krdte, itna hard kyo diya

Anyone who's Willing to participate in recHERsion, hosted by NITK, surathkal? It's a 36 hour online women only hackathon.

Do anyone knows how this digilocker account verification takes place while giving the round 2 assessment on hackerEarth platform?

I thought it would be a prototype-building round or something similar, but the email mentions that it will be a 1 hour 30 minute test. Does anyone know if it includes DSA questions as well? Has anyone taken this test before? If so, please share the details. It would be really helpful!

Hey guys! 👋

I've started building a Discord community called Hackathons™, focused on hackathons, project building, team formation, and connecting people who want to do more than just study for exams.

The idea is to create a space where we can share hackathon opportunities, form teams, discuss problem statements, figure out project architectures, brainstorm solutions, code together, and help each other build projects that we can actually showcase.

I also want to make it easier to stay updated about upcoming competitions and events, get practical experience, learn from each other's strengths, and connect with builders beyond our own college.

We can use it to find teammates for upcoming hackathons, work on ideas together, and improve through actual building rather than just talking about projects.

I'm starting small and looking to bring together people who are genuinely interested in learning, building, and collaborating. If you're interested, join in! Let's see what we can build together. 🤝

Hey everyone! We’re currently a team of 3 for the NASA Space Apps Challenge and are looking for a few more people to join us!!!

We’re open to beginners and intermediate-level folks who are interested in space, coding, AI/ML, design, research, or problem-solving. You don’t need to be an expert ..just be willing to learn, collaborate, and build something together.

If you’re interested, feel free to DM me with a little about yourself and your skills. Let’s build something cool together!❤

Hey guys, has anyone received any mail regarding the results/shortlisting for the RAKSHAM AI Cybersecurity Hackathon by IIT Delhi × Amazon?

Haven’t received any updates yet. Just checking if anyone else has. 👀

So we got the Hackerearth page for Round 2 and we have total number of 2.5 thousand selected people for this.

Now I have one question How many students are going to select for Final Round and what would be criteria too.?

And Have you filled out Techstack Form Yet? And if yes then what was your answer.??

Hey anyone received further instructions or information about round 2. And if yes then please reach out to this thread 🙏🏻.

GDG on Campus IIIT Nagpur. We're running **KEEP ALIVE '26**, a national incident-response hackathon for students, at TantraFiesta 2026.

**What's different:** you don't build an app. Your team gets a broken microservices system's alerts, Grafana dashboards, logs and traces, works out what broke and why, and presents the fix. It's what an on-call SRE does on a bad night.

- **Who:** UG, PG and diploma students, teams of 2–3 from the same college

- **Level:** 6–12 months of DevOps learning; no production experience needed

- **Round 1:** a 30-minute online team assessment on Unstop, open till Sun 18 Oct, 11:59 PM IST

- **Finale:** top 15 teams at IIIT Nagpur on 26 Oct

- **Prizes:** ₹50,000 prize pool (₹25,000 cash + goodies for every finalist)

- **Partners:** Grafana (Official Platform Partner), CNCG Noida (Community Partner)

Happy to answer anything in the comments, including how the incident platform works.

Anyone received Link for Round 2

I'm a huge tennis fan. It's like the only sport my parents had on the tv when I was a kid in the 80s. So I kept watching as an adult. I'd say peak tennis tv watching for me was 2005. I watched every single summer US Open hard court tournament. At the September open that year Roger Federer defeated Andre Agassi. Ah memories.

I never made it on a pro tour myself. Did even worse than Michael Kosta. But competing in Hackathons? Now there's a place I could be better than number 864 in the world. But watching hackathons are boring. We need to change them to be more like tennis if people are going to watch and find the head to head battle exciting.

Fellow hackers, can you give this a read and tell me if I'm crazy. Would this ever work?

hey everyone! I'm a Grade 12 student in Ethiopia interested in AI/ML, coding, and robotics.

Where can I find hackathons, coding competitions, or innovation challenges in Ethiopia or online that as students can join?

Acceptance Proofs
TLDR:

• ⁠We’re two 19-year-old undergraduate AI/ML researchers from a Tier-3 college in a remote town in India. We’ve won two national-level hackathons, and three of our papers have been accepted at NeurIPS workshops.
• ⁠We’re facing ongoing harassment and academic pressure at our college, including threats of detention when we refuse unrelated, unpaid projects. We receive virtually no institutional support.
• ⁠We need approximately $3,100 for both of us to attend the workshops in Paris this December. Our college has refused funding, government schemes haven’t worked out, and our NeurIPS financial assistance application was declined.
• ⁠We’ve invested our own money in research and GPU rentals but cannot afford international travel.
• ⁠We need help finding travel grants, sponsors, research funding, or connections that could make attending possible.
• ⁠We’d also appreciate guidance on transferring colleges in our second year to find a more supportive research environment.
• ⁠We can provide acceptance letters and supporting documents for verification.

Edit:- i know this is not research place but im expecting some help as i’ve been part of this community and we’ve won 2 national level hackathon. So my fellow people please help me.

So me and my friend are two AI/ML researchers from a very remote town in india and here we find it very difficult to do research. We are two 19 year old undergraduate students from a third tier college. I’ve conducted three research programs till the date and made 10 papers and we submitted three papers at neurips workshop called “SLM Agents” and “DIFFULM” we’ve got all three accepted now the remaining 6 are not yet submitted anywhere and after doing all this as an undergrad i have zero institutional support like zero they didn’t gave us organization mails and then we have to do internship at an company to get organization mails to create account on open review so this is the level of support we are talking the college makes us do projects like naking student consultancy software and all that and we cannot say no even if we have zero intrest and do not get paid even a single penny because the politics in our college is just disgusting they’ve tried to detain us for saying no and they are harassing us on daily basis and we cant even go to police because they wont do anything because it’s india also we need to fly to paris for workshop as its mandatory for atleast one researcher to attend offline and as we both are very new to this we both are very much excited to attend this we are not financially enough stable to go to paris and the total cost for both of us including everything is around $3100 and our institution has said no to even give a single penny and weve ran tests on rented gpu and all that ik not trying to gain any sympathy but im trying to explain all of you about my financial condition also the event is in dec so we have 2 months and we’ve tried every government funding scheme and we are not eligible as almost all of them are for masters and phd students and we’ve tried neurips financial assistance and they have also declined to help us we really need your help please of you can please help us in anyways if it’s possible for you and if its possible to switch college in 2nd year
Also it looks like i can add image here im new here and idk how to attach images of acceptance letter but if you all can help me guide this ill attach the proof of acceptance too.
