On June 26, the first Hackathon competition will be held in Nghe An.

Hackathon is a software development competition where contestants will collaborate with each other to complete a project (as required by the organizers) in a short period of time. These projects can be: Phone applications, computer software, management systems or website addresses... expressing creative, unique and innovative ideas.

The organizers will announce the Hackathon theme and suggest some ideas. If any business wants to come up with their own theme, they will sponsor a separate prize for that idea. Team matching and registration will end at 12 noon on June 26. Teams must submit progress reports before 12 midnight on June 26 and 27.

During the 48-hour Hackathon journey, teams must complete: Gather ideas from members and choose the best idea to implement, Code - program to turn ideas into products, Report progress by day, Prepare presentation.

During the project implementation period, the teams will always have a guide at the shared workspace (on the 2nd floor, building 75A Minh Khai); to answer questions and guide the teams to implement the project. After 48 hours (12:00 on June 26 - 12:00 on June 28), the Organizing Committee will select the 10 best teams to enter the presentation round.

On the afternoon of June 28, the teams that have advanced to the next round will perform their presentations. The judges will score on the spot and announce the results.

This ideal playground is for young people aged 12-25, who can participate in groups or individually (at least 1 member in the group must have a registered residence in Nghe An).

The competition's judges are experts from prestigious organizations and businesses in the startup movement in Vietnam.

Local businesses can serve as judges, instructors, or question writers and sponsor the winning team.

Hackathon is a dynamic playground, helping young people have the opportunity to gain practical experience, practice and develop teamwork skills, critical thinking, idea execution, and presentation. This is also an opportunity for students to exchange and learn from the experiences of leading technology experts at successful startups; thereby better orienting their own careers.

Through the Hackathon competition, we aim to find talent and those who want to have practical software applications; contributing to socio-economic development. The teams may have ideas that are suitable for businesses, helping businesses accelerate the digital transformation process or optimize production, and will be sponsored by the business to continue developing after the competition.

In addition, the contest will be a necessary preparation for Nghe An youth to enter larger playgrounds domestically and internationally.

The "huge" challenges cannot lack worthy rewards for those who dare to conquer:

Prize for Incubation Block (12-15 years old): 1 First prize: 5 million VND and sponsor's gift; 2 Second prizes: 3 million VND and sponsor's gift.

Award for Application Block: 1 First prize: 10 million VND and sponsor's gift; 2 Second prizes: 5 million VND and sponsor's gift

In addition, the organizers will organize a Minigame for teams to interact with each other and receive gifts from sponsors. The first prize winning team of each block will be specially qualified to enter the next round of the "Nghe An Province Innovation and Startup" competition in 2020.

The Hackathon will be held for 3 days, from June 26-28, 2020, on the 2nd floor, 75A Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, Le Mao ward (Vinh city).
