What is a Hackathon?

A Hackathon is an event where people collaborate intensively on projects, typically involving software or hardware development. Participants, often including programmers, designers, and project managers, work in teams to create innovative solutions to specific challenges or problems.

Hackathons are known for their fast-paced, competitive, and collaborative environment, which encourages creativity and rapid problem-solving. They often result in developing new technologies, products, or features.

The judging criteria for the myUni Hackathon are designed to evaluate the projects on multiple dimensions to ensure a comprehensive assessment. Here are the key criteria:
