Traditional hackathons lack development environment and cloud resources, forcing contestants to set up their own, which is time-consuming and prone to errors. Local setups also hinder collaboration & task allocation in team hackathons, unlike industry methods.

Hebbale Academy’s cloud-first, platform-led approach eliminates the need for local setup, automatically provisioning development environment and cloud resources. Contestants can focus solely on coding without having to worry about infrastructure setup, collaborate remotely, and get real-time mentor support with code visibility.

Conventional hackathons assume that the contestants are already skilled or experienced to solve the challenges. Therefore many students & aspiring developers with no or little prior experience and skills get left out.

Hebbale Academy’s prep bootcamp is intended to create a level playing field by empowering all contestants to level-up first with essential tech skills and hands-on experience that are required to solve the hackathon challenges. Prep bootcamp is integrated into our hackathon environment, thus encouraging everyone to participate, try out and upskill in the process.

Conventional hackathons face several challenges and hurdles in scaling to large user base. As the contestants setup environment on local machines, it takes significant time, effort and is eventually unviable at a point to support & evaluate the solutions.

Hebbale Academy’s cloud first approach enable tech hackathons to be conducted in 100% digital, remote or hybrid mode.
As the environment are provisioned on cloud, contestants, mentors and evaluators can access from remote locations and play their respective role.
