Join us for Nashik's local Hacktoberfest Hack Day, hosted by the Microsoft Student Community (MSC), KBTCOE at B-Building, KBT College of Engineering, Nashik.
This October, Hacktoberfest 2026 is all about building with open source AI and we're bringing that energy straight to campus. Whether you're opening your first pull request or you've been contributing to open source for years, this is a day to learn, collaborate, and ship something real alongside other student developers from around the city.
What to expect:
Hands-on sessions on open source AI tools, models, and workflows
Dedicated hacking time to build, contribute, or experiment
Mentorship and support from MSC KBTCOE leads and volunteers throughout the day
A project showcase at the end of the day, where teams can demo what they built,
Swag, and a genuinely good time with the local dev community
Who should attend:
Students of any experience level from complete beginners to seasoned contributors. No prior open source experience required, just curiosity and a laptop.
On-ground coordination:
This event is organized and run by the MSC KBTCOE team, with on-site support from Kalpesh Chavan, Vaishnavi Patil, Vinit Deore, Dronav Dalvi, and Suyog Deore, alongside the wider MSC leadership.
