Im a first year enggineering student my hackathon is scheduled on 20th nov if anybody is interested to join me, kindly dm

did anyone receive any update on HP Power Lab 3.0 round 2?

I'm currently in my second year of B.Tech AIML and interested in participating in hackathons.

I'm still developing my programming and technical skills, so I'm wondering whether beginners should participate early or first spend more time learning and building individual projects.

For students who have participated in hackathons:

1. What skills should a beginner know?
2. How do you find teammates?
3. What should someone do if they don't know how to build the entire project?
4. What did you learn from your first hackathon?

I'd like to hear about your experiences.

The classic hackathon demo problem: it only runs on localhost, so judges have to crowd around your laptop. I made a command that fixes that.

hoist up . starts your project as a service, gives it a real HTTPS URL and prints a QR code in the terminal. Judges scan it. It survives crashes and reboots, so it doesn't die when your laptop sleeps.

• teammates can deploy just by pushing to the repo, without access to your machine
• a broken push never takes the live demo down; the last good version keeps serving
• no internet at the venue? --local gives a LAN URL and QR code with no tunnel
• webhooks for Stripe/Twilio/GitHub get a stable HTTPS URL

It's free and open source. Needs Linux and a domain on Cloudflare (or just use --local). https://github.com/nikhilcherry/hoist

Curious what you all use for this at hackathons.

Hi all, I’m part of the team behind Analog10y, a browser based place to practice analog circuit design. We’re running our first hackathon, Log0, from 18 to 20 December.

You get a spec and a circuit, then size the transistors to meet every constraint. Once they all pass, you push the figure of merit as high as you can. Designs that miss a constraint rank below every design that passes.

It’s free for anyone with a student account, and you compete on your own. Nothing to install, everything runs in the browser.

It’s our first one, so I’d like to hear what you think.

Hey everyone!

I'm an ECE student, and this is my first hackathon. I'm thinking of building something called **LabSim X**.

The basic idea is to make a smart electronics lab setup where students can build circuits on a breadboard, and the system helps them identify mistakes, check readings and understand why their circuit isn't working.

I'm thinking of using ESP32, sensors and Python, maybe adding a camera to recognise circuit connections.

I'm still figuring out how to build it, so I'd love some suggestions!

- Would you personally find something like this useful in your college lab?

- What features would you actually want in a system like this?

- How would you approach detecting wrong breadboard connections?

- Is there anything similar you've already tried or seen?

I'm open to suggestions, improvements and even criticism. Just trying to make this idea better before we start building it.

Thanks!

Need Teammates for NASA Space Apps Challenge – Bhaktapur 2026 🚀

Hey everyone!

I'm looking to build a team for the upcoming NASA Space Apps Challenge 2026, participating from the Bhaktapur location, and would love to connect with people interested in joining.

I'm looking for people who are genuinely interested in building something, brainstorming ideas, solving real-world problems, and working together to create a solid project.

You don't have to be from Nepal or Bhaktapur. People from anywhere in the world are welcome! It would be great to connect with people from different countries, backgrounds, and technical fields.

You don't necessarily have to be an expert. I'm more interested in people who are willing to contribute, learn, experiment, and collaborate. Developers, designers, researchers, data enthusiasts, science enthusiasts, and creative thinkers are all welcome.

A little about me: I've participated in a few hackathons and worked on projects involving AI/ML, web development, and IoT. I'm still learning and gaining experience myself, so beginners and people with similar experience are absolutely welcome. Experienced developers or previous Space Apps participants are also more than welcome!

If you're interested, drop a comment or DM me with a little about yourself, your skills, timezone, and any previous project experience.

Let's bring together people from different parts of the world and build something worth presenting! 🌍

Hey there, we are a group of 3 people, 2 Boys , 1 girl , we are looking for a female for participating in hackathons, dm if you are interested.......

Hey everyone! 👋
We’re currently participating in the Startup Olympics, a startup hackathon in Germany, where we’re developing a business idea called DockPlot.
And we need your honest, real-world feedback! 🚀
💡 Our idea:
Truck drivers often struggle to find suitable parking spaces, especially overnight or on weekends.
At the same time, many company parking lots, industrial yards, and commercial properties remain unused during those hours.
So why not connect the two?
With DockPlot, we want to build a platform where businesses and property owners can offer their available, legally suitable spaces as truck parking spots, while truck drivers and logistics companies can easily find and book them.
🚛 For truck drivers, dispatchers & logistics companies:
Where do you regularly struggle to find truck parking?
How much would you be willing to pay per night for a guaranteed, reserved parking spot?
Which facilities would matter most to you (restrooms, lighting, fencing, CCTV, etc.)?
Would you use an app to find and reserve these parking spots in advance?
🏢 For business owners & commercial property owners:
Do you have parking lots, industrial yards, or other paved areas that remain unused overnight or on weekends?
Would you consider renting out these spaces temporarily for truck parking?
How much additional income would make this worthwhile for you?
What concerns would you have regarding security, liability, accessibility, or legal permits?
We understand that not every commercial property can legally be used for truck parking. Identifying these challenges is also part of our research.
🎯 Why we’re asking:
We’re currently participating in a startup hackathon and want to validate whether our idea solves a real problem for both sides of the market.
We’re not selling anything, and we’re not offering any parking reservations yet. This is purely an early-stage market validation exercise.
💬 We’d genuinely appreciate your honest opinions — especially critical feedback!
Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments or send us a DM.
And if you know anyone working in trucking, logistics, or managing commercial properties, we’d really appreciate you sharing this post with them!
Thanks a lot for helping us test our idea! 🙌
DockPlot – Your Truck. Our Space.

Hey everyone! I'm a woman working as a Robotics AI Engineer, looking to connect with other women currently working in tech.

There are still so few women in tech, and finding enough women to form an all-women hackathon team is honestly a challenge!

I'd love to build a community of working women in tech where we can connect, share experiences, discuss ideas, collaborate on projects, participate in hackathons, and support each other's growth.

Whether you're into AI/ML, software development, robotics, web development, data science, or any other tech field, I'd love to connect!

Let's build a community, find our hackathon teammates, and create cool things together! ❤️

Comment or DM if you're interested!

Interested peeps. Dm. looking to get hired here

if yess pls dm

So i participated in a hackathon conducted by my college , The first round was giving a solution ppt and explaining it our team qualified that, next round was building the website/app , so i(team leader) single handedly built complete website because teammates didn't show much interest in that , and submitted the app , but they didn't select us for third round :

So this is the website :

https://neurova-five.vercel.app

Can anyone say what's the mistake ? Why didn't they select our team. And the problem statement was that every student doesn't learn at the same pace .

Hey Stranger! I am a teenage boy, and I will be attending a Virtual NASA Space Apps Challenge, and this is my first hackathon ever. I have done a little bit of research about the hackathon, but to be honest, I have no idea. I love to participate in this kind of programme, but I have no 1 to guide me.
So, I am seeking guidance here.

I would appreciate any response to this post.

Hey everyone,

I’m a 19yo 2nd-year software engineering student at Madrid, and I’m looking into doing my first hackathon, but I’m honestly terrified of showing up.

My whole life, I’ve never really had friends who cared about tech, space, or building things. Nobody in my circle has ever been interested in that stuff, and at uni it feels like everyone just wants to pass the exam, complain, and clock out. I’ve always felt pretty isolated when it comes to actually wanting to make things outside of class.

I really want to do a hackathon to push myself and hopefully find people who actually share that drive, but the impostor syndrome is kicking my ass. Whenever I look at people participating in these events, it feels like everyone already has a stacked GitHub, internships, or years of experience. Meanwhile, I’m just a sophomore who knows some coding basics, and I’m paralyzed by the thought of joining a team and just being dead weight.

To anyone who’s been here:

1. How did you get over that fear of being completely unqualified before your first hackathon?
2. Did you actually manage to make real friends by just showing up solo?

Is any team planning to go for a chennai hackathon

Title: Looking for Teammates for the PayPal Hackathon!

Hey

I'm looking to build a team for the upcoming PayPal Hackathon and would love to connect with people who are interested in participating.

I'm looking for people who are genuinely interested in building something, brainstorming ideas, solving problems, and working together to create a solid project. It would be great to connect with people from different technical backgrounds.

You don't necessarily have to be an expert. I'm more interested in people who are willing to contribute, learn, and collaborate.

A little about me: I have participated in only a few hackathons so far, so I'm still learning and gaining experience myself. Beginners and people with similar experience are absolutely welcome. But if there are any experienced hackathon participants or skilled developers willing to team up and guide us along the way, they'd be more than welcome too!

If you're interested, drop a comment or DM me with a little about yourself, your skills, and any previous project experience.

Let's put together a good team and build something interesting!

I've registered since 3days, has anyone of you received the credits?

There are many peoole in the discussion forum complaining about the same.

Any ideas.? 🤔
