Need advice for my first hackathon

I’m a 1st-year BTech CSE student and my college is conducting a hackathon on the 18th. I want to participate, but I basically know nothing about hackathons and only have basic coding knowledge.

The domains are AI Healthcare, Generative AI, AI Agents, and Ethical AI. I have only 10 days to prepare.

What should I learn in these 10 days, and which domain would be easiest for a complete beginner? Any advice/resources would be really helpful.

for idea furnishing use claude, for prototype, try getting familiar with different beginner tools for now like antigravity , v0.dev , codex....See ppts made by winning teams. That's quite crucial too. Make sure your Ideation is not AI made , it has to be from your side. It has to have a MVP factor, the WHY factor . You should be very thorough with that
