an AI builder experimenting with new tools, agents, models, or workflows
a software engineer who wants to build fast and test ideas in a live environment
a student looking to learn, ship something real, and meet other ambitious builders
a founder or indie hacker exploring a product idea, new use case, or prototype

📍 Attendance and eligibility
This is an in-person hackathon only for Hackers. There is no online participation for competing teams, and all Hackers must be physically present on campus.
Because team coordination, judging, food, swag, and event logistics all depend on accurate planning, Hackers should register only if they genuinely plan to attend and build.
If any team member does not have an accepted Hacker ticket, that person will not be eligible to participate as part of the team.
To keep things fair and organized, only properly registered Hacker participants and eligible teams will be considered for judging, prizes, and sponsor awards.
