To enhance that aim, we have planned to launch the project; “HackTron v1.0” with highly motivated participation of over 30 universities in Sri Lanka through 90 - degree programs related to the Information and Communication Industry under two main chapters as Bootcamp and Hackathon.

As the second chapter of the project; the Hackathon consist of 36 days. A Rise up session has started parallel with the Hackathon. An awareness session was happened on 26th October 2021 as an introduction to the semifinals. It was conducted by Mr.Yasith Sirisena from Prodigi interactive.
