hahahack | a hackathon for absurd + fun things w/ Codex
have an idea that's completely absurd, impractical, and needs to exist? excellent. you're exactly who we're looking for.
got a project idea you abandoned because it was “too useless”? perfect. bring it to the hahahack, where making things that shouldn’t exist is the whole point !
the hahahack is a one-day event where brilliant minds intentionally make the most unnecessary, absurd, and ridiculous projects possible. the hahahack is hosted with support from OpenAI.
this is a hardware-friendly hackathon! bring your half-finished gadgets, weird electronics, sensors, motors, LEDs, robots, breadboards, soldering irons, strange materials, and whatever else your cursed invention requires. if you've been waiting for an excuse to finally finish that bizarre physical project, this is it.
