# theHackCalendar

[**theHackCalendar**](https://thedevarmy.com/theHackCalendar) is a community-first initiative by [**theDevArmy**](https://thedevarmy.com/). We believe that every engineering enthusiast in India deserves the chance to build, break, and innovate at a hackathon. Our mission is simple: to foster India’s hackathon culture by making every event, from local college sprints to national-level buildathons, completely accessible in one place.

### The Problem

Why do most students miss out on the hackathon experience?

1. Skill Gap: "I don't know how to build yet."
2. Information Gap: "I didn't even know there was a hackathon happening!"

### The Solutions

We are attacking these problems from two fronts:

* For the Skill Gap: We organize monthly meet-ups/sessions to help enthusiasts build their tech stacks. Check out [theDevArmy’s Events](https://thedevarmy.com/events) for more.
* For the Information Gap: We created [theHackCalendar](https://thedevarmy.com/theHackCalendar). No more refreshing ten different websites. We sync every Indian hackathon at one place.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.thedevarmy.com/thehackcalendar.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
