At Hack In The North, we create an environment that brings developers together irrespective of their gender, race, sexual orientation, socioeconomic background or ethnicity.
Ever since its inception, over the years, we have strived to make up for the lost opportunities for women by endorsing them in tech through our various programmes.
Hack In The North 2.0 had a direct entry to any and all girls’ teams and individual entries while the best team received special prizes and swags. In the fifth edition of Hack In The North, we took it a step further and reserved 15% of the seats for female participants. Hack In The North 4.0 witnessed a special monetary prize of Rs. 5000 to the best performing all girls' team.

HINT 5 could not be organized adhering to the pandemic. To bridge the gap, Team HINT will host Hacka-demic, a promotional event that will help you get away from the boredom caused by lockdown and bring out the hacker in you.
The team size can range from 2 to 4 members
It is a one-time event introduced to fill in the void created due to the pandemic.
No, Hacka-demic is a promotional event organized by the HINT team.
HINT believes in promoting diversity and inclusiveness, so there is a special prize for girl teams to encourage participation.
This is an open track hackathon, we encourage you to build anything of your choice still, we will be releasing the themes soon to give you an idea of what could be built.
There are no extra points for implementing the themes given, every idea will be given equal weightage
No, there is no such provision. Selection of a team is done considering all it's members. However the team members can apply as individuals and then form a team after selection.
Unfinished or unimpressive (so you think) projects should be presented anyway! Presenting your hack gives you a chance to be proud of what you’ve done, and a constructive perspective of where you should be headed next.
Not to worry, most people don’t! We’ll have team formation and ideation events geared towards helping you find people to work with.
Then we're so glad HINT will be your first ever! It’s helpful to have some programming or technical experience, but it’s not a requirement. We’ll have talks, mentors and workshops to help you with your project.
No. In the interest of fairness, students should not be working on their projects before Hack in the North begins and we do not allow participants to work on pre-existing projects. However, you can familiarize yourself with all the tools and technologies you intend to use beforehand!
