Isro
Wednesday announced the
Bhartiya Antriksh Hackathon
(BAH) 2024, a nationwide competition for Indian students to tackle space-related challenges. This event is part of the
National Space Day 2024
(Aug 23) celebrations.
“The
hackathon
will present 12 problem statements on
Geo-Spatial Applications
from various Isro centres. Teams of three-four students from undergraduate, postgraduate, and PhD programmes are invited to participate,” Isro said.
The competition involves a two-tier selection process.
Initially, 100 teams will be shortlisted based on their ideas and relevance to the problem statements. An expert committee will then select 30 teams for the grand finale, a 30-hour marathon event scheduled for Aug 13, 2024, at the National Remote Sensing Centre (
NRSC
) outreach facility in Jeedimetla, Hyderabad.
Participants can submit proposals through a dedicated web portal until July 26, 2024. The finalists will be announced on Aug 2, 2024.
