What to Build

Build a new project during TechNisa Hacks that solves a problem, explores an idea, or creates something meaningful using technology.

Your project can be a web or mobile app, AI/ML project, hardware project, developer tool, game, or anything else you can build and demonstrate!

• Projects should be started during the hackathon.

• Existing libraries, APIs, frameworks, datasets, open-source tools, and templates are allowed.

• AI development tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and similar tools are allowed.

• Your project does not need to be fully polished or production-ready. A working prototype or proof of concept is welcome!

• Teams should be able to explain what they built and how their project works.

What to Submit

All materials that you plan to show judges must be uploaded or linked directly on your Devpost submission.

Your submission must include:

• Project Name
• Project Description — Briefly explain the problem you're solving, your solution, and what you built.
• Technologies Used — List the languages, frameworks, APIs, hardware, AI tools, or other technologies used.
• GitHub Repository — If your project involves code, your code must be available through a publicly accessible repository.
• Demo Video — Upload or link a short video demonstrating your project and its key features.
• Presentation Slides — Upload or link the slides your team will use during judging.
• Additional Materials — Any Figma files, prototypes, PDFs, videos, or other materials you intend to present must be publicly accessible and linked on Devpost.
• Team Members — All team members must be listed on the submission.

• Best Beginner Prize Opt-In — Select this category if you would like your team to be considered for the Best Beginner Prize. To be eligible, the majority of your team must be participating in their first-ever hackathon. A beginner means this is your first hackathon ever, not simply your first time participating in TechNisa Hacks.

  • 4-person team: At least 3 members must be beginners
  • 3-person team: At least 2 members must be beginners
  • 2-person team: Both members must be beginners
  • Solo team: You must be a beginner

Important: During judging, teams should only present materials that have been included or linked in their Devpost submission.
