Tech Horizons Club (THC) is back with Box Box, a hackathon inspired by the fast-paced world of Formula 1.
Formula 1 is one of the most data-driven sports in the world, yet the fan experience is still largely passive.
Your MissionBuild a digital solution that enhances how fans engage with, understand, or experience Formula 1.
This could be:
- Data dashboards
- AI-powered tools
- Interactive platforms
- Or any creative idea
The official problem statement will be revealed at the start of the hackathon, so come ready to build fast.
