HackSpire'26

HackSpire'26, organized by the FIEM ACM Student Chapter of Future Institute of Engineering and Management (FIEM), brings together the spirit of innovation and the cultural essence of Durga Puja. Recognized as one of the largest hackathons in West Bengal, it unites talented developers, designers, and problem-solvers nationwide. This year, we are crafting an experience where technology meets tradition, inspiring bold ideas driven by the heritage that defines Bengal. Join us to celebrate the power of technology, collaboration, and Shakti as we unveil our most immersive edition yet.
