In line with the Earth Day 2026 celebrations at ULAB held from April 20โ22, 2026, the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) organized the Earth Hackathon 2026, themed โSmart Solutions for a Greener Planet,โ on April 21, 2026.
The teams identified real-world problems using NASA Earthdata and developed functional prototypes as innovative solutions across five tracks: Climate & Environmental Change, Air Quality & Pollution, Natural Disaster Monitoring, Urban Sustainability, and Agriculture & Food Security. The teams subsequently presented their prototypes, which were evaluated by a panel of judges through a rigorous assessment process.
Based on the evaluation, the project titled โSustho Shoshyoโ emerged as the Champion, developed by Kausar Ahmed, Sumaia Afroz Sayka, and M. Al Shahriar Hameem. The 1st Runner-Up position was awarded to the project โGreen Flag,โ developed by Md. Shahriar Alam, Md. Abu Hurayra, and Sajib Chowdhury. The 2nd Runner-Up title went to the project โGreen Map,โ developed by Md. Yusuf, Takia Nawrin, and Maftun Ahommed.
Professor Shamsad Mortuza, the Vice Chancellor of ULAB, along with Mr. Ariful Hasan Opu, CEO of e-Soft and Adviser to the NASA Space Apps Challenge Bangladesh, handed over crests and certificates to the top three teams at the Earth Day 2026 Award Ceremony. All participants were also awarded certificates.
The winners were officially announced by Professor Muhammad Golam Kibria, Head of CSE Department, in the presence of faculty members, participants, and students.
