IASF collaborated with Odisha.ml (an organization promoting Machine Learning) and OSA (Odisha Society of Americas) convention 2022 (California), in organizing a Hackathon in June 2022. The goal was to promote students (grade 8-12) from the Odia community across the world to participate.
There were 4 broad categories:
1. Agriculture and Climate Change
2. Sanitation and Public Health
3. Education
4. Bringing the Odia community together
A total of 20 teams registered for the hackathon, of which 4 were from Odisha. The hackathon was done remotely over a period of 4 weeks by the students at home. Students provided a 5 minutes video along with other code or presentation for the evaluation.
