About

STARCK is a platform for college students who are keen to solve the problems that they see or face in their real life.It is a congregation of minds who think, design and build solutions in 36 hours to behold the pledge of Sustainable Development.Rather than technology using our minds. Let's use this technology to make this world a bit more comfortable to live in.

Themes Description:

Clean Energy

At the current time, there are approximately 3 billion people who lack access to clean-cooking solutions and are exposed to dangerous levels of air pollution. Additionally, slightly less than 1 billion people are functioning without electricity and 50% of them are found in Sub-Saharan Africa alone.The aim is to narrow the gap between energy inefficient devices and energy efficient devices.

FinTech

At its center, fintech is used to help different organizations, entrepreneurs and purchasers better deal with their budgetary tasks, procedures, and lives by using specific programming and calculations that are utilized on PCs and, progressively, cell phones. The aim is to make products which can tone down the uncertainty of the ever-changing stock market trends.

Data Security

Data security refers to protection of documents both online and offline, by encrypting them and taking measures so that they cannot be stolen.But today as the internet is spreading its legs, so are hackers spreading their web and whoever is vulnerable they are not spared. The aim is to build solutions to deal with this grave problem

Health Care

Many more efforts are needed to fully eradicate a wide range of diseases and address many different persistent and all the emerging health issues. By focusing on providing more efficient health systems, by making use of technology to help increase access to physicians, reduce ambient pollution.This act can surely pave the way for saving millions of lives.

Smart City

Many challenges exist to maintaining cities in a way that they continue to create jobs and prosperity without straining land and resources. Common urban challenges include types of congestion, lack of funds to provide basic services, a shortage of adequate housing, declining infrastructure. The aim is to automate devices to bridge this gap.

Third party tools and frameworks are allowed as well as your normal tooling (Gulp, Yeoman, Composer, NPM, Bower, etc.). While you may not begin coding in advance, you can plan and discuss with your team in advance. Written documents and design sketches are allowed. You may also incorporate pre-existing material that is freely available to the public into your project, such as public domain images, Creative Commons music, open-source libraries, existing APIs and platforms, and the like Projects must involve writing significant software, though hardware may be incorporated. Note: projects that incorporate peripheral hardware that may need additional space (such as large robotic devices, drones, etc.) must be pre-approved by the CU-HACKOVERFLOW Hackathon Planning Committee.
For questions or approval, contact STARCK@gmail.com
