What is a Hackathon?

The Hackathon is an event with the intention of providing a chance for participants coming from different background such as STEM, Business, Arts to team up together, and based on given challenges, to come up with an app or software within a certain period of time.

​

In this hackathon, we will see participants from different institutions around Malaysia to come together in teams and innovate within 24 hours together to come up with a prototype to present to the judges. Besides having the chance to win the prize pool, participants also have the chance to network with the mentors and judges that are going to be at the event.
