Info: Participants will take an incomplete React application and implement a new feature or component. You will manage state, use hooks effectively, and ensure your component integrates seamlessly into the app. This challenge tests your front-end fundamentals, component architecture skills, and ability to reason about reusable UI logic under time pressure.

Info: Participants are tasked with designing a RESTful API for a small application, including endpoints, data structures, and error handling. Your work should demonstrate clarity, maintainability, and real-world thinking about system design. This challenge evaluates your backend reasoning, data modeling, and ability to anticipate how other developers will consume your API.

Info: In this challenge, you will connect a front-end React app with a backend API and ensure proper data flow, authentication, and state synchronization. The task tests your ability to integrate multiple layers of an application, solve real-world debugging problems, and deliver functional end-to-end solutions under time constraints.

Info: Participants receive a dataset and are asked to create clear, insightful visualizations using Excel, Google Sheets, or BI tools. You must highlight key trends, actionable insights, and communicate findings effectively. This challenge evaluates your analytical thinking, storytelling with data, and ability to synthesize complex information into visual clarity.

Info: Participants are given a set of user personas and feedback from a hypothetical app. Your task is to identify usability issues, propose prioritized improvements, and justify design decisions. This challenge tests your ability to empathize with users, structure research insights, and translate them into actionable product recommendations.

Info: Participants will respond to a simulated security incident, analyze logs, and identify potential vulnerabilities or attacks. You may be asked to remediate a breach in a sandbox environment. This challenge evaluates your cybersecurity reasoning, incident response skills, and ability to make decisions under pressure.

Info: Participants are tasked with creating an automated workflow using AI tools or scripts to accomplish a real-world task—examples could include automating data entry, generating reports, triaging tickets, or orchestrating a simple multi-step business process. The challenge tests prompt engineering, process decomposition, tool integration, and reliability under constraints.
