Hackathons are dynamic events that bring together diverse teams of innovators, researchers, and students to collaboratively solve specific challenges in a short, intensive timeframe. These events stimulate creativity and critical thinking skills, encouraging participants to think creatively and develop practical solutions to complex problems. The Development Services Unit organizes and supports these hackathons, fostering a culture of teamwork, innovation, and rapid prototyping that helps address societal needs through technology and research-driven solutions.
