Our technical track evaluates projects where teams submit an app, website, hardware, or product utilizing existing code or new code written during the hackathon. Projects in this track must:

• Have original code written by one or more members of the team. Code written using AI tools counts.
  • The quality of the code will not be reviewed. We understand the reality of hackathons.
    • Finalist teams will have their codebase reviewed to ensure compliance with the rules.
  • Please reference the rules for our policy on using existing code.
  • If you have an existing project or idea, your submission must be the feature shipped during the hackathon. A project developed before the hackathon will not be eligible for judging or prizes.

All non-technical track projects must have a final deliverable that implements the use of AI/LLM into the final project. Many projects in this category will have an agentive approach to the use of AI.

Criteria/notes:

• Projects built using no-code or low-code solutions fall into this category.
  • Your codebase must be at least 80% generated by no-code/low-code tools to apply.
  • ChatGPT/Copilot or other tools count.
• We welcome submissions that pair AI with a human agent to execute a series of deliverables.
• If you have an existing project or idea your submission must be the feature shipped during the hackathon - not existing projects worked on before the start of the hackathon.

Two examples:

• If you are using AI prompting to write a script for a short film. We’d love for you to record and showcase a portion of the content.
• Building an app or website using ChatGPT

Think of it this way: AI meets your existing skills.
