What to Build
For AISCHacks 2024, we’re looking for fresh ideas that tackle our core themes: education, poverty, and environmental sustainability. Feel free to use any tech stack you’re comfortable with—any programming language, framework, or even no/low code tools are welcome. The only requirement is that we should be able to review the source code. Here are some project inspirations:
- A dynamic online learning platform.
- A local waste management initiative.
- An app that connects students with educational opportunities.
- A website that incorporates LLM capabilities for teaching, quizzing, or other innovative functions.
Remember, originality counts – if it’s a new concept, it’s exactly what we’re looking for!
