No. Show up with an idea, find one during the week, or join someone else’s. The only rule: ship something.
A working thing. A deployed app, a CLI tool, a bot, an API — if someone else can use it or see it run, it counts.
Yes. Solo or with teammates. You can bring your own or find collaborators through the hackathon.
Perfect. This is designed for you too. The community and streams will help you get unstuck. Ship something small — that’s the whole point.
No, but we encourage it. Even streaming a portion of your build helps others learn and makes the whole thing more fun.
Recognition, not prizes. Standout projects get featured by the panel across five categories: Creativity, Business Case, Technical Challenge, Impact, and Design. Plus peer-to-peer voting for community favourites.
As much as you can give. Go all-in for the full week, commit a few hours a day, or build on nights and weekends. Any level of participation counts.
Absolutely. Use whatever AI tools you want — Cursor, Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT, v0, Bolt, all of it. This isn’t about purity, it’s about shipping. Just be honest about your stack.
