This session is designed to help participants move from idea to execution during the TechSprint 2025 hackathon. Going beyond the Participants’ Handbook, the session will provide a detailed walkthrough of the complete hackathon process using a custom presentation.

We’ll cover hackathon expectations, benefits, swag and prizes, and what first-time participants should focus on. The session will also include beginner-friendly guidance on building a project—even for non-coders—along with suggestions for platforms, tools, and relevant Google technologies to use.

Participants will receive clear guidance on creating an effective project presentation, including what to include in the PPT, along with suggested problem statements and topic ideas to help them get started confidently.
