The Hackathon: Core Fusion 2026
Erode Sengunthar Engineering College
📌 About the Event
The Core Fusion Hackathon is a multi disciplinary technical sprint designed to solve complex industrial problems. Unlike software only hackathons, this event encourages “Core Engineering” solutions, blending hardware assembly with intelligent control systems. Participants from the five major engineering departments must collaborate to build, simulate, or pitch functional models that address real-world challenges in automation and energy.
