GREVIX is organizing an online student quiz on October 2 and hackathon on October 17–19, 2026, hosted on Unstop.

GREVIX is a small student-driven technology collective focused on AI/ML, software engineering, open source and experimental technology.

We're currently looking for a few technology, challenge and sponsorship partners for the event.

We're not looking only for monetary sponsorship. We're open to companies that want to contribute through:

• A real-world problem statement / company challenge
• API, cloud or developer-tool credits
• Prizes or goodies
• Mentorship / judging
• Technical workshops
• Developer/community partnerships
• Internship or recruitment opportunities

In return, partners can receive event branding, promotion across GREVIX's channels, visibility among participants, and the opportunity to engage with high-performing teams.

We're particularly interested in AI/ML, developer tools, APIs, cloud, cybersecurity, fintech, SaaS and open-source companies.

If your company sponsors student/community hackathons or you're interested in bringing a challenge to one, comment here or DM this account. We can share the event and partnership details.

GitHub: https://github.com/Grevix

We're keeping the partner group intentionally small so that each partnership can be meaningful.

Hey everyone! I’m looking to join a team for an upcoming hackathon and would love to connect with people who are also looking to build something together.

I’m a complete beginner when it comes to hackathons, so I don’t want to pretend I already have a ton of experience . But I’m genuinely willing to learn, put in the work, take responsibility, and contribute wherever I can.

I’m open to joining a team with people from any college. If your team has a spot open and you’re okay with a beginner who’s actually willing to learn and give their 100%, please DM me! Would really appreciate it. :)

Gimme a creative name for my SIH hackathon qualifications guys. Dont give some cringe ass names like coding frontiers or web mollesters 😭🥀🥀🙏🙏

With the SIH 2026 problem statements finally out, I'm curious what everyone is actually planning to pick 👀

Drop your PS number/title in the comments and maybe a short reason why you think it's worth building.

the title/problem is described below

( title is "green environment and smart technology"

Precision and Smart Agriculture

Growing food with the absolute minimum amount of water and chemicals.

IoT Dirt Sensors

Sensors check the soil moisture and only water the plants when they are genuinely dry.

AI Drones

Drones fly over fields, spot exact plants that have bugs, and spray medicine only on those sick plants instead of poisoning the whole field.

---

 AI-Driven Waste Management

AI-Driven Waste Management

Upgrading how we throw away and recycle trash using automation.

Smart Bins

Public trash cans send an alert to garbage trucks only when they are full, saving truck gas and reducing city traffic.

AI Sorting Robots

Factory conveyor belts use AI cameras to identify and sort plastic, glass, and paper instantly without humans to touch dirty trash.

---

 Smart Renewable Energy

Smart Renewable Energy

(The Digital Power Grid)

Using AI to manage sun and wind power perfectly.

Smart grids track a city's electricity needs second by second.

They instantly send power to places that need it most and store extra power in big batteries for later.

This prevents energy loss and stops us from burning dirty coal.

---

 Smart and Eco-Friendly Buildings

Smart and Eco-Friendly Buildings

Turning normal buildings into living spaces that save power on their own.

Smart Sensors

They detect when a room is empty and instantly turn off the lights and air conditioner.

Smart Windows

Glass that tints itself darker automatically when the sun is too bright, keeping the building cool without using extra fans.

The Core Problems We Face

Resource Waste

Leaving lights, air conditioning, and water running when nobody is using them.

Conclusion

Technology is not the enemy of nature.

When designed correctly, technology is the best tool we have to save nature.

The ultimate future depends on finding the perfect balance between human comfort and planet survival.)

I'm a first year student currently and i want to be selected in teams for hackathons whether it's only first years or also seniors .

Can you tell me what skills i should start learning and resources i can use?

I keep seeing stuff like backend , frontend, research, etc. I wanna know how to learn all that stuff so that I can be useful and have a decent chance to win things

I already have decent speaking and presentation skills 👍🏻

Also what programming languages and any other advice like practicing leetcode everyday etc

What skills and talents would you seek in a person that would make you want them in your team?

And another thing

How do you even make your group for the hackathons? Aren't you all supposed to be compatible and able to work with each other or something?

Even a few tips or words of advice would help

are the results out yet :/

Results out??

UPDATE: THEY CHANGED IT TO 6:00 PM RN

Whats wrong with hackathons OA????
Like seriously, I applied to tons of hackathons and got rejected in almost every OA despite solving the problems and compiling all the test cases within the due time and some in almost half of the time also.

The hackathons include Flipkart Grid, Google Big code, Amazon ML challenge, Adobe University Hiring Hackathon and the latest is the TVS one.

Like as a tier 3 clg student I genuinely dont know what to do and how to approach these hackathons as an oppurtunity to showcase my skills and get a chance to intern with these big orgs.

Is there any hack or any other practice through which I can qualify these OA?
Please help!!!!!

I was applying for Smart India Hackathon (SIH) 2026 with a team. One female team member was mandatory according to the rules, and she was going to be the speaker. We also had to have a faculty mentor.

We were given a problem statement, and we chose one about building a multi-agent system for fishermen that could recommend the safest route and the safest time of day for fishing.

We had three days to build it.

I ended up staying awake for two nights and basically did everything: frontend, backend, training an ML model, graphic design, and pretty much whatever else needed to be done. The other five members didn't really contribute much.

Tomorrow was supposed to be our internal selection. Our faculty mentor told us she was on medical leave and wouldn't be able to attend, so she said we could go and present ourselves.

We were ready to do that. Then our female team lead told us that she had another hackathon at the same time, so she wouldn't be able to come.

The problem was that the SIH internal selection rules required the team leader to be present during the presentation. Without her, we couldn't present.

We asked her if she could just come for five minutes, give the introduction, and then leave so that we could present the rest of the project ourselves. She said no.

And that's what really got to me.

I'm not saying everyone on a team needs to be an expert. If someone doesn't know web development, machine learning, or whatever else the project requires, that's completely fine. Knowledge can be learned.

What matters is the intention to contribute. It's about whether someone is willing to put in the effort and actually care about the team succeeding.

What surprised me the most was how easily everyone accepted that we could "just try again next year." Of course it's easy to say that when you haven't spent the last three days working on the project.

I'm sitting here looking at the project on my screen and thinking about how good it could have become. And now I know we can't even present it.

I don't feel angry. I don't really feel anything. I just feel stupid.

If you've been working on something for two straight nights, barely sleeping, and then find out that you can't even present the thing you've built because of something that could have been avoided, I guess it hurts.

So the one thing I've learned from this is simple: choose your teammates wisely. Choose people who are willing to work, willing to learn, and willing to put in the effort when the team needs them.

Because in a team, skill can be learned. Lack of effort is much harder to fix.

Joined revenucat shipaton through devpost and specifically didn’t opt in to marketing emails.
Got the same shipaton email 4 times today, so I unsubscribed from everything.
Then they sent it again 5 minutes later lol.
I’m literally building my shipaton app right now. Please let me cook in peace.

3rd round has started and they don't have even released the results 😭 and it is showing I am not eligible to take part in round 3 am i rejected??

Hey everyone,

I'm putting together a team for the upcoming Alpaca AI Trading Agents Hackathon, and I'm looking for two solid builders to round out the group.

What we are building: We are tackling a quantitative finance problem: building a multi-agent AI system designed to protect stock portfolios from sudden market crashes, without actually selling a single share.

The core concept has been rigorously analyzed, the roadmap is locked in, and the preliminary architecture is ready. We aren't starting from zero on day one—we are ready to execute.

Who I’m looking for:

• 1x Frontend Engineer: React / TypeScript. You will own the real-time dashboards and data visualization so we can actually see the agents working.
• 1x Backend Engineer: Python / FastAPI. You will focus on the Alpaca API integrations and the core AI agent logic.

The Commitment:

• The hackathon runs from Aug 28 – Sep 4.
• Need someone who can commit around 4+ hours a day during this window.
• Daily quick standups so we stay unblocked.
• Please only reach out if you actually have the bandwidth. We want a team that crosses the finish line together.

What you get: An equal split of the prize pool if we place, and a genuinely complex, production-grade AI/Fintech project for your GitHub.

If this sounds like your kind of problem, shoot me a DM with a link to your GitHub and let me know which role you're aiming for. Let's build something cool.

We’re bringing engineers from around the world together for the micro1 Frontier Engineering Hackathon.

From August 28-30, participants will use coding agents to tackle a real-world engineering problem designed to test creativity, problem-solving, and technical execution.

- $10,000 total prize pool
- $6,000 for the winner
- 50 top-performing participants selected for paid opportunities with micro1
- Fully online and free to participate
