I’m thrilled to announce that AI Hackathon 2025 has successfully wrapped up! In just under two months, our team brought together university students of Bangladesh, subject matter experts, and AI innovators to develop impactful solutions in healthcare, tech, environment, and policy.
The organizing team consisted of members living in Canada, the US, and Bangladesh, and it was organized 90% remotely, with only the final round being in-person.
A total of 102 teams registered and 8 finalists were chosen to develop prototypes for the final round.
In this blog I’ll be giving an overview of the event.

The Purpose of AI Hackathon 2025

Beyond building AI solutions, this event was about sharing knowledge and fostering a deeper understanding of AI’s role in solving real-world challenges and ethical considerations of implementing AI solutions. The knowledge-sharing sessions involved:
💡 How to build no-code AI products—making AI accessible to everyone, not just developers.
💡 Prompt Engineering—harnessing LLMs for more accurate, impactful AI responses.
💡 Project planning with ChatGPT— converting an idea into a project plan, involving problem scoping, stakeholder analysis, timeline, and budget.
💡 Ethical considerations in AI—ensuring responsible, bias-free AI applications that focus on enhancing jobs instead of completely removing jobs.
💡 Technical deep dives—including Infrastructure Modeling & Implementation with Python and an overview of AI in healthcare.

Some Innovative AI Solutions from the Hackathon

• Digital Health Agent – AI-driven remote screenings and telemedicine for improved healthcare accessibility.
• Smart Farming Agent – IoT-powered analytics to optimize irrigation, fertilization, and pest control, increasing yield and sustainability.
• Cybersecurity Agent – AI-enhanced quantum encryption and advanced security protocols to protect digital infrastructure.
• Legal & Support Agent – AI chatbots that generate legal documents and provide instant legal guidance for greater accessibility.
• Coding Education Agent – AI-powered interactive learning and personalized coding roadmaps to bridge digital literacy gaps.
• Medical Document Interpretation Agent – Uses OCR and NLP to digitize, analyze, and simplify medical records for improved patient access and healthcare efficiency.
