Orygn AI Open Hackathon is an online innovation challenge designed to bring together creative minds from across the globe to build impactful technology solutions with no theme restrictions. Participants are free to explore and submit projects across a wide range of domains, including Artificial Intelligence, Web Development, Mobile Applications, Internet of Things (IoT), Automation, Data Science, and Open Innovation.

This hackathon encourages builders to think beyond predefined problem statements and work on ideas they truly believe inโ€”whether itโ€™s solving real-world challenges, experimenting with emerging technologies, or creating something entirely new. Teams can participate remotely, collaborate flexibly, and showcase their skills through a working prototype and demo.

What makes Orygin AI Open Hackathon special is its open-world submission model, which values originality, practical impact, and thoughtful execution over complexity. With a supportive environment, transparent judging, and a competitive prize pool, the hackathon aims to empower developers, students, and innovators to turn bold ideas into real solutions.

 

Whether youโ€™re an experienced developer or a first-time hacker, this is your platform to think open, build bold, and innovate without limits.

Requirements

To be eligible for judging, all participants must submit a complete project on Devpost before the submission deadline. Each submission must include the following:

  • A working project or functional prototype developed during the hackathon period

  • A clear project title and description explaining the idea and the problem being solved

  • A demo video (2โ€“3 minutes) showcasing the projectโ€™s features and functionality

  • A code repository link (GitHub or similar) with the project source code

  • A brief tech stack overview listing tools, frameworks, and technologies used

  • A short explanation of the use case, impact, and future scope of the project

Optional but encouraged:
