ACM-W India’s National Level 5th Hackathon (virtual)

5thACM-W National Level VIRTUAL Hackathon 2020 started with an ideology to support and motivate the girls students in the domain of Computer Science. Initially, it was supposed to be in offline mode but the pandemic situation brought new challenges to overcome and it was finally decided that it will happen in online mode. This event was successfully hosted by CS Department of ABES ENGINEERING COLLEGE, GHAZIABAD this year and was a combination of three rounds. First was the idea selection round where the teams from all over India were asked to present their ideas/solution for a problem based on the given theme of ‘SELF RELIANT INDIA’ with various domains such as Healthcare, Education, Finance, Agricultural, and Social Innovation. The entries for this round were initially accepted from 1st October 2020 to 25th October 2020 and later on, the deadline was extended to 30th October 2020. For the first round, more than 75 entries were received. From which only 20 teams were shortlisted for the 2ndround which was the PRESENTATION round. In this round, the selected teams had to explain their idea/project to a panel of judges from which 10 teams were supposed to be selected in the final round. The second round was organised on 22nd November 2020 and for this round, we had 16 judges from the various industries, different ACM chapters, and from the ACM STUDENT AND ACM-W chapter of ABES Engineering College, Ghaziabad.

On 19th December 2020, the final round started with the inaugural ceremony which was addressed by Sh. Chandrashekhar Sahastrabuddhe (COO, ACM India) followed by Dr.Heena L. Timani (Chairperson, ACM-W India) , Dr. Shailesh Tiwari (Director, ABESEC), and Dr. Pankaj K. Sharma(Head, CS Department). This inauguration ceremony was concluded by Ms. Madhuri Gupta, Faculty Coordinator, ACM-W, ABESEC Chapter followed by a vote of thanks by Ms. Sanika Singh, Faculty Coordinator, ACM-W. Finally, the hackathon final round began with the selected top 10 teams. They were asked to develop a solution to a problem statement that was allotted to them on 19th December 2020. On the same day, there were two mentoring sessions for each team, to help them with the problem statement followed by one evaluation session on the same day. For refreshment purposes, a cultural program was even organised (the link is provided below) on 19th December 2020. After continuous coding for 24 hours, the teams were ready with their project. By the end of the hackathon i.e. on 20th DECEMBER, 2020 teams were supposed to submit a 3min video illustration of their project and after that, a final evaluation was conducted with a panel of reputed judges.

The valedictory ceremony was initiated by Ms. Ritika Malik, Chairperson ACM-W ABESEC Chapter with a small briefing of the entire event. Finally, after a long wait the results were announced by Dr.Heena L. Timani, Chairperson ACM-W India as follows:

1st Prize (Rs. 24,000/-) Project Title	Team Edu-battel – Sakshi Singh Spam SMS Filtering
2nd Prize (Rs. 15,000/-) Project Title	Team Albatross- Ruchika Sharan A system for detection of coronavirus in the human body using artificial intelligence
3rd Prize (Rs. 12,000/-) Project Title	Team Error-404 – Sanjana Jain System for prescribing the drug in hospitals and it’s substitute availability in the medical shops of the area/city

Which was followed by addressing of Sh. Chandra Shekhar Sahastrabudhe, COO, ACM India, and a vote of thanks followed by National Anthem, which marked the end of this year's hackathon.
