The Year 2020, Hoped for well being, but it grown darker as the time passes by. The lockdown in major cities and towns due to COVID-19 Pandemic has ruined the life of people and that's not enough, it also had its effects over so many Students/Engineers from Schools/Colleges. They had spent enough months fighting the pandemic and now its time for real fun to get them back from where they started. Now It's the time for them to get back with their Projects ready to defeat the time of Recession and take the challenge for good.

## **What is CODE CAMP?** 🤔

CODE CAMP is a virtual hackathon event organized by [I.S.T.E](https://www.istesrmncr.com) on [GitHub](https://github.com/). The hackathon comes with a great opportunity for them who are willing to show their talent as a developer. It requires the very technical skills with a little mix of Team management and project management skills. The Hackathon will be on [GitHub](https://github.com/ISTESRMNCR) which we found a very helpful platform to connect with developers all over the world. and also it serves the very purpose of hackathons and project managements. The hackathon will be moreover a open source competition for all the students and developers. It would be long running event almost Upto 11 days.

## What are the Advantages of participating in the Hackathons

- Hackathons are proving grounds for new ideas. They’re especially good tools to stimulate the creative and problem-solving juices of developers. Unlike their day jobs where risk-taking may be frowned upon, in a hackathon there is a low cost of failure.

- Hackathon brings a great opportunity for showing off developer skills.
