A challenge should be related to a specific topic and is appealing when it addresses a current problem. It is more exciting to develop an approach that can have a positive impact.

What makes a good hackathon challenge?
A successful hackathon challenge is defined by key features that drive participant engagement, creativity, and competition.
Challenge
The challenge itself can often be quite challenging. It can be difficult to push participants to use their full skillset. There should be ample room for innovation and advanced solutions to encourage the development of new technologies and ideas.
Goals
The challenge must set clear objectives to ensure participants understand expectations and can be effectively guided towards success. Clarity in goals is essential for a productive hackathon experience.
Openness
While there are goals and rules, a good hackathon challenge should leave enough room for creativity. It's important to encourage diverse approaches and solutions. This allows participants to harness their skills and ideas and develop solutions that embrace various perspectives and use cases.
