What our innovators are saying
Don’t take our work from it, see what our past participants have to say
Temiye Akinyemi
AI and ML were the most popular and chosen topics for the participants.
They had wonderful, limitless ideas. It was amazing to see how young minds are leveraging technology and thinking out of the box.
Their solutions brought a fresh perspective in a very short span of time. The Hackathon met its purpose.
It kindled the fire within.
I am looking forward to the next one.
Rahul Sharma
Taking part in the hackathon with my two friends, Yusuf and Temiye, was nothing short of amazing. Over the course of two days, we pushed ourselves, laughed through the stress of the pitch and how we were gonna present our product, but at the end we discovered just how much we could achieve when we worked together.
The experience was challenging but also very rewarding. It made me think outside the box, sharpened my problem solving skills, and how much we learned in such a short time, not just technical skills, but also how to stay creative under pressure.
Since then, I’ve found myself approaching other competitions and gigs with more confidence and sharper thinking.
Eziamaka Michael
Participating in the Cavista Tech Hackathon was a turning point for me. It was an intense but exciting experience where I got to collaborate with my team and transform ideas into solutions in just two days. Beyond winning, the hackathon gave me the confidence to take on bigger challenges, and it opened the door to my career at Cavista Technologies, where I now work as a full-stack engineer.
Yusuf Daudu
It was a privilege to witness firsthand the power of collaboration between academia and industry at the Cavista Technologies Hackathon.
With over 150 enthusiastic participants from Vishwakarma Institute Of Technology, PCCOE PUNE and MIT Academy of Engineering, Alandi, Pune, this event truly exemplifies innovation and excellence in the tech sector.
Prof. Dr. Vijay Mane
My experience at the Hackathon was amazing. It was a perfect example of learning with fun.
We got to meet and interact with so many young minds who did not have much understanding of the healthcare world, but they had a lot of understanding of the upcoming technologies. They were full of ideas.
It was intriguing to see their take on the problem statements that we gave them.
I don’t know how much they learnt from us; we definitely learnt a lot from them.
