SummerHacks '26

​SummerHacks 2026 is ITM Skills University's flagship 24-hour startup hackathon, hosted by the School of Future Tech on April 17–18, 2026 at our Kharghar campus. This isn't a coding competition, it's a product sprint. We're bringing together students from across disciplines to build solutions to problems that actually matter right now.

​This year's tracks are built around the world as it is in 2026 : the attention crisis, the personal finance gap, the rise of the one-person business, AI that takes action, and the tools we need to take care of ourselves. Whether you're a developer, designer, business student or first-time hacker, there's a track for you and a problem worth solving.

​Form a team of up to 4, you'll be assigned your track, and spend 24 hours building something real. Along the way you'll have direct access to mentors from the industry : practitioners who've built and shipped real products, who will sit with your team, review your progress and help you push further than you would on your own. Your final product gets pitched to a panel of industry judges who bring the same lens they'd apply to an early-stage startup.

​The best projects win prizes, recognition and the kind of experience you don't get in a classroom.
