A glimpse of the HackMatrix floor

HackMatrix 2026 · Adamas University

Welcome to HackMatrix 2026.

HackMatrix is co-powered by ACM and MLH, and organised by the ACM Student Chapter at Adamas University. This November, HackMatrix runs in two rounds. Every registered team takes on a 48-hour online build sprint between 7 and 10 November, and the top 30 teams meet at Adamas University on 14 November for a 12-hour Hack Day. Bring a team of your own or find the people who think differently and build something none of you could make alone.

HackMatrix is for ambitious first attempts, long debugging sessions, practical mentorship, and a final demo you can be proud to ship. On Hack Day, food and refreshments are on us, so your crew can stay focused on building.

Why HackMatrix.

HackMatrix is our 12-hour hackathon — a focused build sprint where teams turn ideas into something they can be proud of. The name is the brief: significance. Not a giant trophy. A project that works, a first flag, a friend you did not have on Monday. We bring it so the floor stays generous: extra help, extra time, room to be new at this. Come hang out. It should feel like a good day with your people — light, open, not a lecture and not a test.

Made with love ❤️ by the team at HackMatrix 2026 and brought to you by Adamas University, West Bengal, India
