Using this freshly obtained knowledge, teams will deep-dive into the challenge in order to determine the core problem. Participants will describe this problem using a problem statement, which then becomes a statement that the teams will address throughout the rest of the hackathon. After understanding the problem, participants then engage in relentless brainstorming to answer the problem statement by generating as many ideas as possible. After careful evaluation, the best ideas are merged and selected and their prototypes are built.

Best ideas and teams are awarded and crowned as the hackathon winners.
