About the Challenge

JOINTS 2026 is a student-led technology event organized by Universitas Gadjah Mada students, featuring competitions that encourage innovation, technical skills, and creative problem solving.

The Hackathon challenges participants to develop technology-based solutions to real-world problems. Participants are expected to demonstrate their ideas through a working prototype or mockup, supported by clear technical documentation and a project presentation.

Projects will be evaluated based on the published judging criteria, including innovation, technical implementation, functionality and design, impact and feasibility, and presentation and demonstration.

Get Started

  1. Review the official hackathon rules and submission requirements.

  2. Develop your project and prepare the required deliverables.

  3. Submit your project materials through the designated submission platform before the official deadline.

  4. Ensure that all links and supporting materials are accessible to the judges.

For questions or clarification, please contact the organizing committee using the official contact information provided on this page.

Requirements

What to Build

Develop a technology-based solution that addresses a relevant problem. Your submission should demonstrate the proposed solution, its intended users, and how it creates value.

Your project should include a prototype or mockup that illustrates the main features and user flow. If the project is implemented as a working application, provide evidence of its functionality.

What to Submit

Each team must provide the following deliverables in accordance with the official JOINTS 2026 rules:

  1. Project Prototype or Mockup: A link to the prototype, mockup, or working application.

  2. Source Code: A GitHub repository containing the project source code and relevant documentation. Ensure the repository is accessible to the judges.

  3. Pitch Deck: A presentation explaining the problem, proposed solution, innovation, implementation, and expected impact.

  4. Demo Video: A video demonstrating the project, its main features, and how the solution works.

Before submitting, verify that all links work and that the submitted materials accurately represent your project. Any additional requirements, file formats, and deadlines specified in the official competition guidelines must also be followed.
