Hackathons are well-established in today’s world and have proven to be very popular for a variety of reasons among students, graduates, professionals and other tech enthusiasts.

Hackathons are one or more day-long events, during which enthusiasts solve technology challenges. The business companies and sponsors usually organize these challenges with an aim of recruiting talent for IT-related work while simultaneously transforming the promising prototypes into finalised products. In a hackathon, the time limit requires participants to distil their visionary ideas down to actionable alternatives.

IEEEXtreme is one such global hackathon challenge in which teams of IEEE Student members – advised and proctored by an IEEE member, and often supported by an IEEE Student Branch – compete in a 24-hour time span against each other to solve a set of programming problems. This professional development session of ISDAIOT 2020 presents an opportunity for knowledge sharing from the winning Xtreme 14.0 participants of the Victorian Section on tips to crack coding hackathons.
