We welcome contributions that make this the best repository of real-world hackathon problem statements.
- New problem statement — Use
_PROBLEM_TEMPLATE.md. Place it in the appropriate track directory. - Improve existing — Update datasets, fix inaccuracies, add references, refine scope.
- Implementation notes — If you built a solution to one of these problems at a hackathon, add a
_implementations/folder with your notes, architecture, and lessons learned. - New track — Propose a new category (e.g., "Climate Tech", "Healthcare", "Fintech for Good").
- Real problems only — Every statement must be grounded in actual data, users, or research.
- No chatbot wrappers — No "AI that does X as a chatbot" unless there's a genuinely novel angle.
- Be specific — Link datasets, APIs, papers, and existing OSS. Scope the MVP.
- One file per problem — Place it under the right track directory.
- Follow the template — Use
_PROBLEM_TEMPLATE.mdfor new submissions.
