HackNova 1.0, 2026

HackNova 1.0 is a high-energy, in-person hackathon organized by the N8N Data Science Community in collaboration with the Department of Mathematics, HBTU Kanpur. It brings together some of the brightest student minds in technology, data science, and innovation to build real-world solutions within a limited time frame.

This is not just a coding event it’s a platform where creativity meets execution. Participants will ideate, build, and present end-to-end solutions that address real-world challenges across domains like AI, data science, automation, and software development.

Unlike typical hackathons, HackNova emphasizes complete solutions—from idea to execution to presentation. Teams are evaluated not just on code, but on impact, usability, and innovation.

With a data science-driven community behind it, HackNova encourages solutions involving:

• Machine Learning
• Data Analytics
• Automation (n8n workflows)
• Real-world datasets

Participants get exposure to:

• Experienced judges from industry
• Mentorship during the hackathon
• Networking with professionals and sponsors

• Prize pool + trophies + goodies
• Opportunities for beginners and advanced participants
• Recognition beyond just winners (innovation, design, impact)

Sponsors are not just logos, they:

• Interact directly with participants
• Get access to student talent pools
• Gain branding across campus and digital platforms
