How it works
1 - CONNECTING WITH THE BEST PARTNER
International Study Programs works to frame your challenge by identifying the scope and goals of your hackathon. Using the strategy of your University and/or course objectives as a foundation, we’ll seek relevant organizations to meet your desired outcomes.
2 – IDEATION PHASE
Following registration, students work together in teams to develop ideas in line with the challenge statement. At the end of the ideation phase, the teams submit their ideas for preliminary evaluation and those judged to be most innovative proceed to the online hackathon.
3 - THE HACKATHON: DEVELOPING IDEAS
The online hackathon takes place, and the teams perfect their ideas under the guidance of expert mentors who provide coaching, support, and constructive feedback. The teams then submit their final proposals and are invited to pitch their ideas to the company/organization representatives during a live webinar.
4 - FINDING THE SOLUTION
The best solutions are collected, the winners are announced, and the ideas are taken forward.
