Universa Hackathon · two days
Saturday–Sunday, 24–25 October · Onsite in Yogyakarta
Two days. One real problem. One demo.
Win, and your AI/ML programme is fully covered.
The brief opens Saturday, you demo before the judges on Sunday.
No slides, no elimination rounds. You get a brief, you build, you show what runs.
One real problem, not an invented case study. Every group starts from the same point.
Your group works in the room. Mentors circulate, but they do not write your code.
Show what runs, however small. What is broken gets discussed here, not later.
Stop coding. The rest of the time is your demo and how you explain it.
Five minutes per group. Three groups leave with a 100% scholarship.
Four rules, all of them about who actually ships
Groups of three maximum
Two or three people. No large teams, so nobody can hide behind a name.
What runs is what counts
Not the idea, not the mockup. If the judges cannot open it, it does not exist.
Use as much AI as you want
Coding agents, any model, go ahead. But you have to explain every decision in the code.
Five-minute demo, no slides
Open the product, walk the flow, show the part that fails. Technical honesty is scored.
Three groups, AI/ML programme at zero cost
The eight-week AI/ML programme is Rp 6.000.000. For three winning groups that number becomes zero.
- A 100% scholarship to the AI/ML programme for every member of the 3 winning groups.
- An international Product Owner, a real client case, and a professionally recorded demo day.
- Everyone else can still continue on the regular or scholarship route.
This hackathon is a door, not a requirement
You can come without having taken the first programme, and you can join the AI/ML programme without the hackathon. This is just the fastest route at no cost.
Lock your group in.
Join alone or with your group. If you do not have a group, we match you on the day.
Before you enter.
No. Anyone who can code may enter. People from the first programme tend to be better prepared, but it is not a requirement.
Two days that can erase Rp 6.000.000
Saturday–Sunday, 24–25 October. Onsite in Yogyakarta. Groups of three maximum.
