Wipro's Topcoder Humblefool Charity Hackathon - Due date 26.10.2017
2017 [humblefool] Charity Hackathon
Ideate, Design, and Develop apps related to Programming Education to help carry on the legacy of Harsha Suryanaryana (Humblefool)
About the event
Humblefool (Harsha Suryanarayan) was the best competitive programmer India ever produced. This Hackathon is in honour of Humblefool: to carry on his legacy and help spread the word about programming across our country. Being the best he may have worked for big companies, but he wanted to contribute to the community — by teaching programming to students and helping mentor startups.
Theme
The broader theme here is programming education. The education industry in our country is still taking in fast-progressing information technology, and this is your chance to think outside of the box and create an app that can really make a difference here.
What’s in store for the participants?
The tournament will have 5,00,000 INR in prizes, tons of t-shirts, plus gift cards, cash for referrals, and amazing swag.
Also, the successful and the best applications will be made available to the public and we will be sponsoring a child's education in Harsha's name. The winners will also have a chance to contribute their prize money towards the same cause.
Competition Details
The goal is simple - create a new app related to programming education and coders in India to help carry on what Humblefool started.
The hackathon has two checkpoints before you submit your working application. The checkpoints - an idea checkpoint, design checkpoint, and then the final submission. All you have to do is be a Topcoder member and be a part of the Cognitive Community with an IBM Bluemix account.
Take our word for it - this is going to be an awesome event. Not only are we honoring one of the greats but we are helping to build more young people like him. We’re also going to be donating money to directly help mold a child’s education.
