Introduction

As a hacker, you have the freedom to build anything you want. Check out youtube for projects that haven't been created or other devposts to brainstorm ideas. If you don't know how to code yet, check out these tutorials:

- https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/index.html - for python

- https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/ - for java

- https://cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/ - for c++

And much more!

Here are also some creative ideas you can expand towards. You can make something that:

  1. …makes something invisible visible.
    → Visualize internet traffic, noise pollution, air quality, social connections, spending, etc.
  2. …saves someone 10 minutes every day.
    → Automate a repetitive task.
  3. …helps two strangers collaborate.
    → Skill exchange, collaborative problem solving, local communities.
  4. …turns boring data into something fun.
    → Games, visualizations, interactive simulations.
  5. …helps someone make a difficult decision.
    → Career, university, finances, purchases, travel, scheduling.
  6. …uses technology in a place where people normally don't expect it.
    → Parks, sports, classrooms, public transit, music, physical games.
  7. …makes the future easier to imagine.
    → Climate simulations, city planning, career simulators, financial projections.
  8. …connects the digital world to the physical world.
    → Sensors, computer vision, AR, robotics, IoT.
  9. …takes something complicated and makes it understandable.
    → Law, economics, science, government, research, statistics.
  10. …would make your city better if everyone used it.

Tools and Technologies

All tools are permitted in this hackathon. AI usage is allowed, but you must disclose what AI you used and how you used it. If you use AI and don't disclose it, ONHacks has the authority to disqualify you from all tracks.

Inspiration

Feel free to build anything! Take inspiration from your daily life, projects you've found online, or even a stupid idea you had when you were bored in class!
