About the Hackathon: What happens when creativity meets chaos? Welcome to ChaosCore Hackathon 2026 - an open-innovation hackathon where unconventional ideas, bold experiments, and creative problem-solving come together. There is no fixed problem statement, no predefined domain, and no restriction on technology. Choose a problem you care about, improve an existing system, create a product you've always wanted to build, or explore an entirely new idea. This Halloween, step into the chaos, challenge the ordinary, and turn your wildest ideas into working solutions. Embrace the Chaos. Build the Unexpected. Tracks: AI & Intelligent Systems Software & Developer Tools Healthcare & Wellbeing Education & Learning Finance & Commerce Social Impact & Accessibility Mobility & Urban Systems Cybersecurity & Privacy Productivity & Automation Open Innovation Tracks are provided for guidance only. Participants are free to build beyond these categories. Why Participate? Build Without Limits: Choose any problem, idea, or opportunity worth exploring. Think Differently: Challenge conventional approaches and experiment with fresh ideas. Turn Ideas Into Reality: Build a working product or functional prototype. Embrace Experimentation: Explore technologies, test possibilities, and try unconventional approaches. Collaborate & Create: Connect with developers, designers, AI/ML enthusiasts, and innovators. Showcase Your Skills: Build a project you can demonstrate and add to your portfolio. Learn From Experts: Gain feedback and insights from mentors and industry professionals. Get Recognized: Showcase your creativity, technical skills, and problem-solving abilities. Eligibility: ChaosCore welcomes anyone interested in building with technology, including: Students Software Developers Engineers AI/ML Enthusiasts Researchers Entrepreneurs & Startup Builders Anyone interested in building with technology Team Size: 1-4 members Solo participation is allowed, and cross-college, cross-disciplinary teams are welcome. Event Format: Round 1 - Idea Submission: Every great creation starts with an idea. Identify a problem, opportunity, or unmet need and propose a solution worth building.
