Music Hack Day India 2022

What to expect?

Theme

Do you constantly wish that existing music tech solutions did something more than they already do? Are you often lost in thought wondering if there was a piece of tech that could do the craziest of things with music that you could come up with? Well, this is a chance to put your creative minds to work on bringing just those ideas to life!

Agenda: The hackathon starts with an introduction to the event and guidelines, followed by presentations by our chosen mentors, who will help participants with their ideas and questions. Participants network with each other, brainstorm, form teams and start building their projects. Workshops and Resource sharing sessions will be organised throughout the day so we can help support your ideas and learn from each other.

The hackathon will have top 3 exciting prizes:

  • Best Hardware Hack
  • Best Software Hack
  • Best Creativity Hack

Winning hacks will get exciting goodies and a chance to present their hacks on the main stage on Jan 7th ADCx India.
