Projects & Tracks
HackHive 2K26 consists of two primary tracks:
• Hardware Track
Participants will work on predefined real-world problem statements such as smart parking, ambulance priority systems, fire safety, and industrial automation.
• Software Track
Participants will solve problem statements revealed on the day of the hackathon, covering domains like AI/ML, Web Development, and App Development.
Teams can also build interdisciplinary solutions combining both tracks.
• Hardware Track problem statements are already available on the website.
• Software Track problem statements will be revealed at the start of the hackathon.
This ensures fairness and encourages real-time innovation.
Yes! Participants are encouraged to bring their own laptops, development boards, sensors, and hardware components.
Basic components may be available, but teams should bring essential tools required for their project implementation.
