📌 About the Event

HACK4GOOD is a premier one day hackathon organized by the Department of Computing Technologies at SRM Institute of Science and Technology. This event is designed to push the limits of rapid prototyping, architectural design, and creative problem solving. Under the theme of Open Innovation, participants are encouraged to identify real-world bottlenecks ranging from sustainability to healthcare and build functional digital interventions. It is a high stakes environment where “Hacker Spirit” meets “Social Good,” providing a platform for students to demonstrate their full-stack capabilities to a panel of expert evaluators.
