Data Strata: Code the Beat is an AI music hackathon where creativity, data, and machine learning come together to turn algorithms into expressive sound. Participants build innovative systems that generate, analyze, or interact with music—focusing on storytelling, emotion, and originality rather than scale. From AI-generated melodies to interactive and data-driven audio experiences, the event celebrates experimentation, clear technical thinking, and creative impact—inviting teams to let their code groove and ideas make some noise.
