Cursor Codechella @ Victoria, BC
Cursor Codechella
this is a one-day hackathon for 150 to 200 builders, creatives, or thinkers who want to finally ship that project they've always wanted to exist.
this is not a demo day hackathon. we are not optimizing for polished uis, slide decks, or pitch theatrics. we care about what you tried to build, what broke, and what actually shipped.
Build something you've always wished existed.
Powered Tenfold is a builders group where founders, designers, and builders get together and share work every Tuesday
What you'll do
build a real working project
get hands-on help
demo what you actually built with a focus on what you made, what broke, and what you learned
care about shipping something that looks and works great
Who should come?
you should come if you:
have an idea you've never had time to build
care about shipping something that looks and works great
