The World Engineering Day Hackathon encourage engineering students to work in teams towards global real-world problems.
This competition is a fast-paced simulation of a real-world project. Teams are to work collaboratively on a problem to provide a set of deliverables within a short timeframe. Utilising their theoretical knowledge, students gain first-hand experience to develop their critical thinking, build new skill sets, push themselves out of their comfort zone and build lasting relationships.
The finalists of 2022 were announced here on the 14th February
