Kchimbo Hackathon

Description

🎓 Kchimbo Hackathon Join a hybrid hackathon designed for PUCP students where the challenge is announced only at the start. Three days to form a team, think fast, and build a real solution — with support from mentors along the way. 🛠️ How does it work? It has a hybrid format: 27/08 — The hack (virtual) starts and the challenge is revealed. 27 to 29/08 — Mentorships via Google Meet, at the times that each mentor has available. 29/08 — In-person day: final pitches in front of the jury. Teams of 2 to 5 people. Limited to 75 spots — if there are more applicants than spots, preference will be given to teams of 5. On pitch day (29/08), only one member from each team is required to attend — everyone can go if they want, but just one is enough. You need your own laptop, both for the virtual mentorships and for team work. 📅 Dates Registration Deadline: 27/08, 6:00 pm Start: 27/08, 12:00 pm (noon) — virtual End: 29/08, 5:00 pm — in-person 📍 To be defined 🏆 Prize Thanks to our sponsors we have... 🕒 How the days are distributed 27/08 (Wed) 12:00 pm — Kickoff: the challenge is revealed 🎉 Rest of the day — Virtual mentorships available (according to each mentor's schedule) 28/08 (Thu) Virtual mentorships available Team work time 29/08 (Fri) — In-person day 2:00 pm — Arrival / final adjustments 3:00 pm — Pitches in front of the jury 5:00 pm — Closing and results FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS What is a hackathon? It is a competition where solutions to real problems are developed through innovation and the use of technology (AI, programming, etc.). At the end, a pitch (presentation) is made in front of a jury. Do I need prior experience in hackathons? No! This event is prepared for beginners. Do I need to be a programming expert? No! You can use AI tools like Bolt, v0, Lovable, Antigravity, Github Copilot, and more. Do I absolutely need to know how to program? No! You can contribute to your team with your own knowledge and skills; a product is not just code, but also knowing how to conceive and present it. 🚀 Developer Student Club We are DSC PUCP, a multidisciplinary student group that learns and develops technology.
