HackOMania is GeeksHacking's annual hackathon. We bring together students, tech enthusiasts, and tech professionals for 24 hours to tackle real world challenges.

Now in its 6th year, we're taking a look at how digital devices such as smartphones, laptops, and televisions have become an integral part of our daily lives in today's fast-paced and hyper-connected world. From work, social interactions, to entertainment-technology gives us convenience and connectivity but it can also take a toll on our mental and physical health.

HackOMania 2025 challenges you to develop innovative solutions to break free from digital addictions, unhealthy habits, and reconnect with the real world. Let's build a healthier, more connected world, together!
