Requirements
What to Build
The HackBlue Cyber Hackathon encourages participants to develop any Cybersecurity-related project of their choosing. We not only welcome innovative solutions in the cybersecurity domain but also encourage the application of other fields of computer science. Whether you're passionate about web development, machine learning, or artificial intelligence, this is your opportunity to create a project that makes a meaningful impact on digital security.
What to Submit
To participate in the HackBlue Cyber Hackathon, you'll need to create a 3-5 minute video showcasing your project. In this video, introduce yourself and your project, and provide an overview of how you built it and its key functions. It's important to mention that your project is created specifically for the HackBlue Cyber Hackathon in your introduction. Additionally, we recommend including a link to your project's GitHub repository if your code is hosted on GitHub. This will allow our judges and fellow participants to explore your project in more detail.
We look forward to seeing your innovative projects and solutions that contribute to the world of cybersecurity. Best of luck!
