CUTC: Transform Hackathon
CUTC: Transform Hackathon 🌐⚡
This isn’t a traditional hackathon.
It’s a global, AI-first build experience designed for the next generation of creators, builders, and problem-solvers.
Welcome to CUTC's Transform Hackathon.
🚀 What is CUTC's Transform Hackathon?
CUTC: Transform Hackathon is a week-long virtual build sprint bringing together 1000+ students from around the world, culminating in an exclusive in-person showcase event.
