*Code Mixer* Hackathon Event by MixOrg *Event Introduction :* Building a web application that focuses on a single industry vertical such as the education (engineering colleges), Healthcare (Hospitals), Publishing (Magazines), Fashion wear,and Hospitality( Restaurants and Hotels) . These are just some of the ideas that can go into the app. We will leave the idea open and see if they can come up with things which are more innovative/attractive.
*Eligible Industries:* 1. Restaurant 2. Super Market(e.g. Walmart, Big Baazar, Vishal Mega mart, etc) 3. Shopping Malls
*Technology :* While we do not want students to build a Facebook application but we want it ultimately to be used there. So, the web app should follow the size guidelines of Facebook Canvas ( 510 width * 2000 pixels +length) . (Recommended : Also, building a Facebook app requires SSL certificate so students are better off building a stand alone web app.) They can use any platform/technology and also refer to existing applications on Facebook for inspiration. Also, they can use social components such like/comment within their app.
*Scoring:* The apps will be scored on the basis of the novel ideas that go into it, the design and User interaction, the reusability of the app, etc
