100+ students, real company problems: inside the monthly hackathon
Every month, 100+ students gather to solve real problems that companies sponsor. It is where careers start, and where partners get first pick of talent.
Once a month, more than 100 students come together for a hackathon built around one simple idea: real problems, from real companies.
Partners sponsor a genuine challenge from their business. Students form teams and spend the weekend building. By the end, companies walk away with fresh solutions, and first sight of the talent that impressed them.
Why it works
- For students: a chance to prove themselves on real work, not exam questions.
- For companies: a low-risk way to meet dozens of capable people at once.
- For Maua Talent: the top of our pipeline and the front door to traineeships.
The path from here
The best performers are invited into traineeships inside Maua's delivery teams. That is the dual-track pipeline in action: hackathon → traineeship → contract → specialist/partner.
