</aside>

Graphite’26 is a student-driven (comminity) hackathon built for creators, problem-solvers, developers, designers, and innovators who believe that great ideas deserve to be turned into something real.

Hosted by Graphic Era Hill University, Bhimtal Campus Graphite’26 brings together passionate minds to build, experiment, collaborate, and compete in an environment where technology meets creativity.

This isn't just about writing code. It's about identifying meaningful problems, thinking beyond conventional solutions, working as a team, and turning an idea into a working prototype.

The theme: Spider-Verse

Every spider builds a web by connecting many tiny threads into something strong. Great projects work the same way: your team, your code, your ideas, and your users all connect. This year’s theme asks you to build things that connect, protect, and swing into action for real people.
