Welcome to CSESoc's & DevSoc's collab Flagship Hackathon 2024!

Come in person to the opening ceremony at Ainswoth G03 at UNSW! The theme and problem statement will be released on Friday, June 28th, 5:25PM! The theme is Health!

Problem Statement

In a world where screens have become the new digital playground, every need is just a click away. The new generation has now become one filled with ‘iPad kids’ - children who spend excessive amounts of time scrolling on TikTok or playing video games. However, as your parents always said, nothing is more important than your health! Sedentary lifestyles have become a growing concern due to physical inactivity, poor dietary habits, and mental health challenges.

So, it’s time to be innovative and promote healthier habits! From your mental to your physical health - there are numerous avenues to explore and problems you could choose to solve. So what are you waiting for?

Your Task: Create a technical (or non-technical) solution to address these problems (e.g. physical inactivity, mental health) 

Examples of Projects:

Exercise Logger/Builder 

Mindfulness Apps 

Interactive Nutrition Guides 

 

Requirements

What to Build

Whatever you'd like, as long as it addresses the problem statement! There is no restriction on what form your project should be like and what technologies are used to build it. See the rules for a more detailed breakdown. 

Project submissions for all groups will be due at 30th June 12:00PM.

What to Submit

Your code on a public repository, screenshots of your project and a brief description of what it does.
