About The Arcticathon:

  • The Arcticathon is a student-focused online hackathon by Bidaya, built around the theme of the Arctic.
  • You can create almost anything that runs in a browser: a web app, interactive experience, game, tool, or something completely different. Your project should connect meaningfully to the Arctic theme and showcase your creativity, technical skills, and problem-solving.
  • This is a solo-only hackathon. You’ll be the designer, developer, and project manager of your own project.
  • How Projects Are Judged:

    Projects will be reviewed based on:

    • Creativity
    • Technical execution
    • How well the project connects to the Arctic theme

    Every submission will be reviewed by the judging team.

Requirements

 

  • Make at least three pages that link to each other
  • Make a nested route
  • Use at least 5 components
  • One of those components should accept children
  • One of those components should accept props
  • Have a nested component
  • Create a component that fetches and displays data from an API (e.g. JSONPlaceholder)
  • Log 3 hours using hackatime
  • Note: Your submission needs to be meaningful (eg. a portfolio, or a website showcasing your favourite artists) and also use relevant APIs (eg. using a Dummy posts API for a blog page instead of using a lorem ipsum API).

  • Submission:

    Before the deadline, participants must submit:

    • A live link to their website
    • Their public GitHub repository
    • An optional 60-second video explaining their project
    • The submission deadline is strict, so make sure your project is deployed and submitted on time.
