About Brabble5
- Brabble is a live index of hackathons, case competitions, coding contests, and student opportunities. It merges listings from Unstop, Devpost, Devfolio, MLH, DoraHacks, HackerEarth, Hack Club, ETHGlobal, Internshala, Codeforces, CodeChef, LeetCode, and more into one free, searchable page, updated daily, with no account needed. Everything is browsable from the homepage.
- Brabble is built mainly for students, school and college, looking for hackathons, case competitions, coding contests, and similar opportunities. There are dedicated views for school students and college students, filtered by each organiser's stated eligibility.
- Yes, completely free. No account, no email address, and no hidden fees. Every listing links straight to the organiser's own page, where registration happens.
- Brabble reads live feeds from the platforms competitions are actually run on, such as Unstop, Devpost, Devfolio, MLH, DoraHacks, HackerEarth, Hack Club, ETHGlobal, Internshala, Codeforces, CodeChef, and LeetCode, then merges and de-duplicates them into one list, refreshed daily. Only listings whose deadline is still in the future are shown, so expired ones drop off automatically. The full source list is on the browse page.
- Brabble currently covers hackathons, case competitions, and coding contests, plus dedicated views for school students and college students.

Finding opportunities6
- Open the hackathons page for every hackathon currently open for registration, sorted by how soon it closes. It reads directly from the live feed, so there's nothing to search through manually.
- The case competitions page lists every business and strategy case competition currently accepting entries, sorted by the date it closes.
- Yes. Brabble has city-level pages, for example hackathons in Bengaluru, that filter listings to competitions in or near a specific city, for students who prefer in-person events.
- Yes. Each source platform, for example Unstop or Devpost, has its own page showing only listings pulled from that source.
- Yes. Curated views such as closing today, closing this week, free to enter, and high prize value pull straight from the live feed and update daily, alongside the AI & ML view.
- Yes. The reminders page offers a calendar feed you can subscribe to once, which puts every deadline in your own calendar app with an alert the day before, and updates itself automatically.

Hackathons4
- A hackathon is a time-boxed event, usually 24 to 48 hours, where participants build a project from scratch, alone or in a team, and submit it for judging. For a fuller breakdown, see the guide on what hackathons actually are.
- Yes, most hackathons welcome first-timers, and many explicitly recruit beginners. If you've never coded before, there's a dedicated guide on entering your first hackathon with no coding experience.
- Most hackathons have a team-formation channel on Discord or Slack shared by the organiser, or let you register solo and get matched in. See the guide on finding a hackathon team for the specifics.
- Check the eligibility, the mode (online or in person), the deadline, and what's actually being judged. The hackathons page shows all of this per listing, so it's comparable at a glance before you commit.

AI, coding contests & prizes5
- Yes. AI and ML hackathons are tagged separately at artificial intelligence and machine learning, and there's also a curated AI & ML opportunities view that pulls only listings involving artificial intelligence, machine learning, or data science.
- A coding contest is a timed competitive-programming round, solving algorithmic problems for a score, usually a few hours, with no team or open-ended build involved. A hackathon is longer and open-ended: you design and build a project rather than solve fixed problems. See the coding contests page for what's open right now.
- Yes. Brabble has tag pages for specific technologies and domains, such as blockchain, Python, cybersecurity, and UI/UX design, each one filtered to competitions relevant to that stack.
- It varies by organiser: cash prizes, internships, pre-placement offers, goodies, or sometimes nothing beyond the experience and certificate. The prizes page tracks the total prize money currently open across every listing, and there's a guide specifically on how PPOs and PPIs from hackathons actually work.
- The colleges page is a live ranking of the institutions and companies running the most competitions currently open, recounted daily from the same feed as the rest of the site. It's an activity leaderboard, not a directory to browse competitions by your own college.

Case competitions3
- A case competition is a business-strategy challenge where teams analyse a real or simulated business problem and present a recommendation to judges, usually over a few days to a few weeks rather than one sitting like a hackathon.
- Most case competitions target undergraduate, postgraduate, or MBA students, though eligibility varies by organiser. The college students view filters to listings open to college-level entrants.
- The case competitions page lists every one currently accepting entries, pulled live from the platforms they run on and sorted by deadline.

Registration & participation4
- No. Brabble is a discovery layer, not an organiser. Every hackathon, case competition, and contest listed is run by its own organiser, whether that's Unstop, MLH, a university, or a company.
- No. Every listing links to the organiser's own page on their platform. Registration, team formation, and submissions all happen there, not on Brabble.
- On the listing itself. Every card on Brabble links straight to the organiser's registration page, which is the source of truth for dates, rules, and how to apply.
- Listings are read directly from each platform's own feed, not manually verified one by one. Only entries with a future deadline are shown, and stale or expired ones drop off automatically. For the final word on dates and rules, always check the organiser's own page, linked from every listing.
