Looking for High-Impact Hackathon Problem Statements
Hi everyone,
I'm Now at a hackathon and I'm currently looking for strong, real-world problem statements.
I'm not looking for generic ideas like a to-do app, chatbot, or expense tracker. Instead, I'm interested in problems that:
- Solve a genuine real-world challenge.
- Have measurable social or business impact.
- Can realistically be prototyped in a 24–48 hour hackathon.
- Allow the use of AI, machine learning, computer vision, or automation.
- Have enough technical depth to impress hackathon judges.
If you've participated in hackathons before:
- What problem statements do you think are currently underexplored?
- What industries need better solutions?
- What types of projects tend to stand out and win?
I'd really appreciate any ideas, trends, or advice. Thanks!
