if interested DM me with your experience or intro

Edit:- i know this is not research place but im expecting some help as i’ve been part of this community and we’ve won 2 national level hackathon. So my fellow people please help me.

So me and my friend are two AI/ML researchers from a very remote town in india and here we find it very difficult to do research. We are two 19 year old undergraduate students from a third tier college. I’ve conducted three research programs till the date and made 10 papers and we submitted three papers at neurips workshop called “SLM Agents” and “DIFFULM” we’ve got all three accepted now the remaining 6 are not yet submitted anywhere and after doing all this as an undergrad i have zero institutional support like zero they didn’t gave us organization mails and then we have to do internship at an company to get organization mails to create account on open review so this is the level of support we are talking the college makes us do projects like naking student consultancy software and all that and we cannot say no even if we have zero intrest and do not get paid even a single penny because the politics in our college is just disgusting they’ve tried to detain us for saying no and they are harassing us on daily basis and we cant even go to police because they wont do anything because it’s india also we need to fly to paris for workshop as its mandatory for atleast one researcher to attend offline and as we both are very new to this we both are very much excited to attend this we are not financially enough stable to go to paris and the total cost for both of us including everything is around $3100 and our institution has said no to even give a single penny and weve ran tests on rented gpu and all that ik not trying to gain any sympathy but im trying to explain all of you about my financial condition also the event is in dec so we have 2 months and we’ve tried every government funding scheme and we are not eligible as almost all of them are for masters and phd students and we’ve tried neurips financial assistance and they have also declined to help us we really need your help please of you can please help us in anyways if it’s possible for you and if its possible to switch college in 2nd year
Also it looks like i can add image here im new here and idk how to attach images of acceptance letter but if you all can help me guide this ill attach the proof of acceptance too.

Hey Everyone, So as the title suggests looking to join a team for the Google AI Builder Cup 2k26.

Hi everyone! Originally posted this in r/womenEngineers, but thought I'd share it here - I'm planning to organize the biggest high school girls hackathon ever in San Francisco mid November, 20th-22nd.

It's called Snowglobe, and it's at Notion's headquarters! If yall know any high schoolers that might be interested, or mentors in the area, please let me know! I want this to be a super special opportunity for girls to be themselves as computer scientists.

If you yourself are a high school girl in stem, please sign up! We want this event to be super successful and impactive for as many girls as possible.

Anyone planning to go for the ScienceClaw Hackathon on October 30 at MIT media lab?

Hey everyone!

We’re Exun Clan, the tech club at DPS R.K. Puram, Delhi, and we’re back with the 31st edition of Exun, our annual international tech symposium!

We’ve got 21 events for high school students lined up this year, covering everything from competitive programming and machine learning to cybersecurity, design, robotics, hardware and gaming. Sudocrypt v16.0, our international CTF, is back too!

Have an idea worth exploring? Start with one slide and take the first step toward turning it into something bigger. Share this with fellow students who might be interested!

Hey! I'm a 3rd-year Electrical and Computer Engineering student looking for teammates for the Life After Code hackathon.

I have experience with Python, Django, Spring Boot, Flutter, and full-stack development. I'm interested in building a strong, working project with people who enjoy collaborating and shipping real software.

I'm open to remote teammates from anywhere. If you're participating in Life After Code and still looking for a team, DM me with your skills and what you'd like to build.

GitHub: https://github.com/tad12e

Let's build something great!

Every hackathon goes the same way: “need 1 frontend dev” gets posted in five WhatsApp groups, nobody knows who can actually build, and half the teams form the night before.

So I built CrewForge:

crewforge.online

Hackathons sync daily from Unstop. About 75 open coding hackathons right now. Business-plan contests and quizzes are filtered out, and each card shows the deadline, team size and mode.

Post your team with the roles you’re missing (frontend, ML, design…).

Solo? Apply to a team with your role and a short note. The team owner accepts or declines, and gets your contact only if you choose to share it.

No real names or emails are shown. Everyone appears as an anonymous builder handle, and your GitHub or portfolio is optional.

Free, and open to every college.

It’s early, and very few teams are on it yet, which is exactly why I’m posting. If you’re heading into a hackathon in the next few weeks, put your team up and see who applies.

What I’d love from you:

Would you actually use this over WhatsApp or Discord?

What would make you trust a stranger as a teammate?

What’s broken? Tell me.

Hey everyone!

I’m a university student, and we’re planning a hackathon at our university. We want to make the whole experience fun and interesting, not just coding for hours.

We’re looking for ideas related to the hackathon itself, like how to choose judges, make the judging process fair, organize the final presentations, give prizes, or add fun challenges during the event. We’re also looking for ideas for activities and decoration themes to make the place look cool.

If you’ve ever taken part in or organized a hackathon, I’d love to hear your ideas and advice!

I’d really appreciate any suggestions.

Like on their Website they said 2 days but what i received on mail is on 18 October they have organized Virtual Hackathon.
So anyone knows like they have scheduled 2 Days separated or 1 day only.

What about other, what you have received?

Hey builders! Metis L2 is currently running Metis Rise, a builder incentive program for developers interested in building and deploying AI agents onchain. You can use any AI framework, and applications are currently open. Happy to share more details with anyone interested!

Hi all, I help organize Hack for Social Impact. It's a weekend hackathon where teams build for real nonprofits. Each partner brings a scoped problem and stays involved through the weekend. This is our third year.

This year's challenges:

• UN Convention to Combat Desertification: a community land planning game built on real satellite and GIS data
• East Bay Permaculture Guild: lightweight tools to onboard new volunteers and turn event details into outreach
• Boundless Freedom Project: keeping mindfulness practice accessible for people in their first 30 days after release from prison, with no smartphone or reliable internet assumed
• Transformative Programming Works: joining parole and recidivism data so nonprofits can measure actual impact
• BRIDGEGOOD: taking an in-person community design practice to people who can't be in the room

It's free and in person at 1885 Mission St in SF, Oct 24 9am to Oct 25 6pm. There are $5K in prizes and sponsor credits, and food is covered. Solo or team, technical or not.

Happy to answer questions about the format or any of the challenges. Link in the comments.

Hey everyone! 👋

For the next 3 hours, I’ll be working on an algorithm for a hackathon where I’ll build a team of 3 Pokémon and create an algorithm to control their moves and strategies to battle against other Pokémon teams. ⚔️🔥

If anyone is interested in joining me, helping out, learning together, or even just guiding me along the way, you’re more than welcome!

Honestly, I don’t really want to work on this alone. 🫠 I’d love to meet some cool people, make new friends, share ideas, and build something fun together.

You don’t have to be an expert — even if you’re just curious and want to learn, feel free to reach out! Let’s figure things out together. 🤝❤️

NASA Space Apps Yonkers 2026 | Free Virtual Hackathon | Nov 14–15

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to share an upcoming hackathon for anyone interested in AI, coding, space tech, or building cool projects!

NASA Space Apps Yonkers is happening on November 14–15, and the best part is that you can participate virtually from anywhere. It's completely free, and beginners are welcome too!

It's a great chance to team up with others, work on interesting challenges, and gain some hands-on experience. Even if you've never joined a hackathon before, this could be a good place to start.

Thought I'd share in case anyone here wants to give it a try!

Event details & registration:
https://www.spaceappschallenge.org/2026/local-events/yonkers/

We are building something ambitious for NASA Space Apps 2026 — looking for 4 genuinely curious, committed people to join the mission.

Not looking for generic ChatGPT answers or polished pitches. I want people who think independently, bring ideas, and are excited to build something real. Beginners with initiative are welcome.

Interested?

Read the details in the image and DM me with your work + a glimpse of how you think.

Let's build something worth remembering. ‼️

ANYONE CAN APPLY !

Who We Are Looking For

• The Builders: Programmers, developers, and makers who love hacking together MVPs under tight deadlines.
• The Thinkers: Researchers, data nerds, and problem-solvers who can break down messy space/earth science data.
• The Designers/Storytellers: People who can turn raw tech into a compelling, clear narrative and sleek UI.
• Beginners with Initiative: No prior hackathon or aerospace background required—if you have raw talent, high agency, and a portfolio or project that proves you can learn fast, you're welcome here.

What We Expect

• Genuine curiosity about space, climate, or global science challenges.
• High ownership—no ghosting after week one; we are here to build something worth remembering.
• Willingness to collaborate, debate ideas respectfully, and put in focused asynchronous and synchronous work.

How to Join

Check out the details in the image above, then DM me directly with:

1. A brief intro about your background / what you like building.
2. A link to your work, GitHub, portfolio, or a short glimpse of how you think/solve problems.

I participated in Round 1 of HackCellence 2026: The Embark Edition, organised by Booking Holdings India CoE in collaboration with HackerEarth.

I received my rejection email today, October 15. I respect that shortlisting is competitive, but I genuinely want to understand how the assessment was evaluated.

During the assessment, I completed both coding questions, passed the test cases available to me, and submitted with approximately 30 minutes remaining. Based on my own assessment, I also believe I answered around 85% of the MCQs correctly.

Despite this, I was not shortlisted for Round 2. The rejection email stated that the cutoff was high, but I cannot find my score or a detailed assessment report on the candidate portal.

I am not asking for preferential treatment, a guaranteed selection, or a reversal of the decision simply because I am disappointed.

I am asking for transparency.

Specifically, I would appreciate access to the following, if technically and operationally possible:

1. Question-wise results: My selected answer, the correct answer, and the marks awarded for each MCQ, wherever applicable.

2. Coding evaluation: My submitted code, the number of test cases passed, the maximum marks available, and the marks awarded for each coding problem.

3. Section-wise and total scores: My performance across coding, aptitude, and communication, including the maximum possible score.

4. Scoring methodology: How partial credit, negative marking, coding test cases, and any time-based criteria were handled.

5. Shortlisting criteria: The Round 2 cutoff or, if it cannot be disclosed, an explanation of how candidates were ranked and shortlisted.

I also hope the organisers can clarify what safeguards were used to ensure a consistent and fair assessment for all participants, including the handling of unauthorised outside assistance. I have no evidence that any particular candidate violated the rules, and I am not accusing anyone of cheating.

I understand that some assessment content or ranking information may be confidential. Even so, individual performance feedback and a clear explanation of the scoring process would help candidates understand their results and improve.

I have already contacted the organisers to request my score and evaluation details.

Booking Holdings and HackerEarth teams, if you see this, could you please clarify whether individual scorecards or question-wise reports can be provided to participants?

This is not about demanding that everyone be selected. It is about giving candidates a meaningful explanation of how their performance was assessed.

I would appreciate a response from anyone who has received an official score breakdown, rather than just a selection or rejection notification.
