About the Challenge
The Klymo Ascent 1.0 is our inaugural engineering hackathon, crafted exclusively for college students who are passionate about building robust software systems.
Unlike traditional hackathons that often prioritize presentation over functionality, Ascent focuses on engineering quality. We want to see clean code, scalable architecture, and thoughtful system design. Whether you are into AI/ML or Full Stack development, this is your platform to showcase your skills.
