Build.IT '26

​Welcome to Build.IT – the ultimate 48-hour hackathon sprint where code, caffeine, and chaos collide. Coders, designers, storytellers, and makers unite to build bold, original projects — fast. ​Form a squad of 1 to 4 hackers and get your prompt at kickoff. Then it's go-time: code, design, and deploy your idea before the clock runs out. Submissions must include your GitHub repo, a short demo video, and a write-up explaining what you built.   Use of AI for help is allowed – you can use tools like ChatGPT or Copilot for brainstorming, debugging, or clarifying concepts. However, using AI to generate core parts of your project (like major portions of code, designs, or written content) is not allowed . The goal is to showcase your team’s creativity and skills, not AI-generated work.
