Techacks 5.0

24 hours, in person Hackathon. From Bharat to World 🇮🇳→🌍

🚀 Season 5 is cleared for launch.

TecHacks 5.0 is Season 05 of TecHacks: one 24-hour hackathon, fully in person, on one stage at Chitkara University, Punjab. Form a crew, pick a track and turn an idea into a working solution in one night, in one room. Learn from mentors, meet like-minded builders and pitch to the judges.

TecHacks is a hacker community committed to inclusive tech literacy, open-source engagement and industry preparedness. Since 2019 we've helped thousands of builders learn, ship and grow. Season 5 is our first international-standard season, with international institution partner Deakin University.

It's free to register, and first-timers are welcome.
