Hacktivate – 24-Hour Predictive Systems Hackathon
Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences (RUAS)
📌 About the Event
Hacktivate is a 24-hour predictive systems hackathon organised by Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences (RUAS). The hackathon challenges teams to design and build working hardware and software systems that collect real-world data and use predictive logic to identify outcomes, anomalies or early warnings. Participants work on system design, sensor integration, hardware assembly and predictive solutions before demonstrating their working systems to the judges.
