The hackathon will last 2 days. The theme of the hackathon is “education”. More information will be shared with teams that sign up. The Digi-ed team will review the hacks halfway through and shortlist a few for the judges to rank. Expert judges who are highly credentialed will come from industry and academia to judge the winners on the last day. There may also be short presentations by a few of the judges on their work.
