ATME College of Engineering will be participating in Smart India Hackathon-2017, held in various States of India, by deploying three teams. The Union HRD Ministry has organised the unique ‘Smart India Hackathon 2017’ to focus on digital technology.

The participants from ATME College of Engineering are from the Departments of Computer Science Engineering and Electronics & Communication Engineering. Twelve students from CSE in two groups and six students from ECE in one group are competing in Smart India Hackathon to be held in April 2017 at different places in India.

Digital India Hackathon-2017 is a pan India 36-hour non-stop digital programming competition. The participating teams are to simultaneously compete from across 33 centres in India with innovative solutions for the problem statement.

A Hackathon is a gathering where programmers collaboratively code in an extreme manner over a period of time. While working on a particular project, the idea is for each developer to have the freedom and ability to work on whatever the participants’ target. It’s a creative way of problem-solving.

The aim of this initiative is to harness the creativity and technical expertise of young minds studying in technology institutes. This enables participants to think out-of-the-box and come up with innovative and disruptive tech solutions for some of the daunting problems faced by our nation.
