The Objective

This is a 24-hour hackathon to code, strategize and innovate some ingenious solutions to the most sought out real life problem statements.

24-hour Hackathon

All the participating teams will work round-the-clock on their problem statements for a period of 24 hours, starting at 1pm on 30th October. At the end of the allotted time, teams will give the final presentations in-front of the judges.

1.5 Lakh

Worth Prizes

Rules

  1. 1

    Teams will be given 5 problem statements to choose from and develop a solution in the 24-hour time period. The solution may consist of a desktop app, web app, mobile app, data visualization or a design prototype.

  2. 2

    Participants should develop an application of their choice to best fit the solution of the given problem statement. Mentors will be present at the location to help the teams and to check on what the teams are developing for some period of the Hackathon.

  3. 3

    Every team will have to explain their product individually to our mentors roaming around and will have to give a final presentation to our judging panel, out of which the winner will be chosen.

  4. 4

    Rules may be changed without prior intimation. Participants are requested to check the official MindSpark'21 website (www.mind-spark.org) regularly for updates.

Problem
Statements

Read the statements carefully. Submissions for only 1 Problem Statement will be accepted.

Problem Statement 1

Some students in High School just starting out with chemistry find it less intuitive to understand in the beginning due to inability to imagine complex molecular structures, memorising complex formulae, understanding long reaction mechanisms etc. Ease the struggle of students by designing a web app or android app for teaching chemistry in a fun way using gamification or implementing any creative idea for explaining complex concepts.

Problem Statement 2

Covid restrictions are easing and public places are opening up and people are gathering in large numbers. To make this back to normal transition more safe for everyone and to address the issues which may arise due to social gathering in large numbers, design a solution for effective Crowd Management and Safety/Contactless systems.

Problem Statement 3

The world is shifting to a remote-work friendly phase, however so far most of it has been leaning heavily towards a small subset of people who can converse in English, this leaves out a large chunk of the population who are skilled but aren't native speakers in English. Design a solution which bridges this gap in any of the pre existing tools. For instance, a browser extension or a slack extension which can perform functions like translate / transliterate etc.

Problem Statement 4

Today, anyone can write an experience on their resume / CV without any proof / backing of its truth, for example: a candidate can write they spent 2 years working at Google and get away with it. Companies have to spend a lot of money and time on extensive background checks; this might lead to delays in the scheduled timeline. Design a solution which solves this problem. (It could be blockchain based)

Problem Statement 5

Develop a centralised digital prescription application - instead of having to physically prescribe medicines which are then given to a pharmacist, design a Role Based Access Control application which handles this end to end. A doctor should be able to prescribe medicines with dosages to a patient on his terminal who can then go to any pharmacy and get them. The system must be secure and external stakeholders shouldnt have access to records shared between 2 parties in any case.
