Objective
Lean In Hacks is an annual flagship hackathon of Lean In IGDTUW - the first chapter of Lean In India. Lean In Hacks is a beginner-friendly hackathon and has a place for everyone wanting to learn, build, share, and grow in their lives through their unique ideas. Our hackathon journey started in 2020 when we conducted the first edition of Lean In Hacks to give grounds to new thoughts and tools to animate the imaginative and critical thinking side of developers. From having hackathons only for IGDTUW students, we are planning to host our 4th edition in hybrid mode on a much larger scale! Hackers will be given the weekend to build their product online and the top teams will be given a chance to pitch in the offline mode.
