BeachHack Season 7

**BeachHack** is the flagship event of the **Department of Computer Science and Engineering**, a legacy event hosted by the **Community Of Developers (CODe)** from **Christ College of Engineering, Irinjalakuda**. It is a national-level hackathon that dares to be different-held not in classrooms or auditoriums, but at a beach resort right beside the shoreline, where creativity flows as freely as the waves. Returning for another season of innovation, **BeachHack 7** invites developers, designers, and entrepreneurs to collaborate, create, and conquer under the open sky. This isn’t just a coding competition; it’s a **36-hour celebration of technology, creativity, and community spirit.** This year, we are thrilled to present the **7th edition of Beach Hack**, proudly celebrated as **India’s one and only beachside hackathon**. We offer a **prize pool of ₹2 lakhs**, with two competitive tracks: * **Hack4Christ** – exclusively for students of Christ College of Engineering *(₹50,000 prize pool)* * **Beach Hack** – for participants from other colleges *(₹1,00,000 prize pool)* # **Why BeachHack?** 🌴 **The Only Beach Hackathon:** Experience the unique thrill of debugging with a sea breeze. 🚀 **Legacy of Excellence:** Organized by the face of the CSE Department at CCE, adhering to a tradition of quality and student-centric events. 🤝 **Networking & Mentorship:** Connect with industry experts, like-minded peers, and tech leaders in an informal, high-energy setting. 🏆 **200K+ :** Compete for substantial cash prizes and exclusive swag. 🎟 **Zero Registration Fee:** Innovation should have no barriers.
