About the Challenge

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 Mission

Build 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.

We’ll end with a live screening of the Miami Grand Prix, watch the race with fellow builders.
