As the team comprises of university students, we decided to focus on the theme for this year's FutureHack to be "Hacking University Life", which is something university students can relate.
FUTUREHACK will create a comfortable and conductive environment where beginner-hackers can build "out of the box" prototype applications that can help improve a student's university life in any aspects.
FutureHack is one of the first hackathons that only consists of people who never coded or new to the hackathon community in Malaysia. By bringing together 100 students from various local universities to learn about coding and designing websites and web applications by competing in a 24-hour hackathon.
This hackathon is organized by Futurelab CampusHero and APU's Enterpreneurship & Startup Society (ESS).
