This emerging technology is quickly becoming the norm, and early adopter developers are at the forefront of Automation innovation.UiPath invites hackers, creators, makers and coders to solve problems, push the boundaries of existing tech and power up the next generation of software robots.
For this Hackathon, we are looking for those hackers who already have some knowledge about RPA or any other types of developers to join UiPath Power Up Automation Hackathon at Technoxian from on October 08, 2022 (Virtual).

What do I need to use to build my app?
To be eligible for prizes, participants must create open source reusable components using the UiPath Studio in one of the categories. To get started, sign up for free access to UiPath Community Edition
What should I put in my video?
Aside from your actual app, your submission video is one of the most important parts of your entry. In fact, it’s often one of the first, and sometimes only, things that judges and voters view. Make a great first impression by following these tips on what to include in your video:
- Tell your story step-by-step. Your video should include an explanation of the problem addressed and a demo of the app itself. While audio isn’t required, narration or text bubbles can help judges and voters understand your submission.
- Keep it simple. Per the official rules, your video shouldn’t be longer than five minutes. In the words of Leonardo da Vinci, “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”
- Don’t wait until the last minute to upload your video. Keep in mind that the time it takes to upload/process a video on YouTube or Vimeo varies greatly depending on the format of your original video, the file size, upload traffic and Internet connection speed, and could take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours or more.
How can I provide UiPath with access to test my app?
You are required to make your code open source. You will be asked to include a URL to Github or any other open and publicly available code repository on your submission form. MIT open source licenses must be applied. Submit all of your source code files, dependencies and make sure to include the file types specific to the component category.

- Existing applications are eligible for this competition as long as they are updated during the submission period and updates are explained on the submission form.
Can more than one person work on an app and receive credit for it? And if the app wins a prize, how will the prize money be split among the creators?
- Yes, teams are encouraged. If a team of individuals or an organization is selected as an award winner, the full prize amount will be sent to the submitter. It will be up to the winning team or organization to reallocate the prize money between the team members, as they deem it appropriate.
