Yahoo Hack U IIT Kharagpur on March 17-20, 2011
What's the event about?
You have 24 hours to build something. Wrack your brains and come up with that hack that will throw you in the limelight. You're not restricted to using Yahoo! APIs and services, although (hint) the judges would really, really love it. For inspiration, please visit the Apps Gallery, the Widget Gallery, and the Yahoo! Developer Network.
There will be food, drink, schwag, and entertainment suited to the occasion, which is code for "you will be pleasantly surprised."
The overview of the event schedule is as follows:
Day 0: Thursday, Mar 17th
5-8PM : Keynote, kick-off, YQL
9-11PM: Discuss Web Technical Challenges
10PM: Refreshments
