At Nirmaan, we are pleased to share the incredible journey of our students in the Coding Hackathon 2024-25, supported by
Wells Fargo
, held across Bengaluru, Chennai, and Hyderabad on February 22, 2025.
Spanning school, state, and national levels in January and February, this hackathon provided students with a platform to showcase their creativity, problem-solving skills, and technological excellence. A total of 150+ innovative projects were developed, reflecting their passion and ingenuity. The Hackathon was a 2-month of hard work, ideas, competition and altogether a learning experience for our students.
Through a rigorous selection process, 51 projects advanced to the state-level hackathon, and 15 outstanding projects were chosen for the national-level competition, supported by Wells Fargo. Among these, three exceptional projects i.e., School Website, Bounce-in Ball Game, and Eco-Planet, secured positions in the Top 3.
Their journey has been nothing short of inspiring, and we eagerly look forward to witnessing their continued success!
Our heartfelt thanks to Wells Fargo for their support in nurturing young talent, fostering innovation, and empowering future tech leaders. We extend our gratitude to the leadership of
Bandana Jha
and
Sumona G.
for not just supporting the program but scaling up to 5X in a span of 4 years. We started the project with 5000 students and are now impacting 25,000 students across Chennai, Hyderabad and Bangalore.
