This isn't just another weekend of coding; it’s a high-intensity innovation marathon designed for students, early-career devs, and tech visionaries. This year, we’re challenging you to build Hyper-Local Solutions—software that tackles real-world problems in your own backyard.

Whether you're an AI specialist, a UI/UX designer, or a backend architect, come ready to turn "what if" into "here it is."
