Tracks

01

Software

Intelligent Augmentation

Create software that partners with users—algorithms that handle the heavy lifting while humans stay in control. Think smart assistants, augmented interfaces, or backend agents that know when to step in and when to step back.

02

Hardware

Symbiotic Systems

Build physical systems that work alongside humans—drones that co-navigate, robots that assist rather than replace, or embedded devices with intuitive control loops. Make autonomy feel like collaboration.

About Hackdata

Hackdata, a student organised hackathon caters to Delhi NCR and nearby institutions. Hosted by the GDG and ACM chapter of SNU in association with its Computer Science Engineering Department, Hackdata is born out of true coding culture.

Over a non-stop 24 hours, teams collaborate to create innovative projects, assessed by a panel of expert judges. Outside the hacking space, the event offers speaker sessions, mini-games, and more engaging activities.
