ALPHAG3N 2026 HAI Hackathon @ Stanford

​Join us at Stanford on May 23–24 for the ALPHAG3N HAI Hackathon, an in-person build sprint centered on human-centered AI. Hosted at the Jen-Hsun Huang Engineering Center, the event brings together ambitious builders, students, and founders to turn ideas into working prototypes in a focused, high-energy setting.

​This year’s challenge is about building AI as a partner, not just a replacement. Teams will create tools that help people work, learn, create, or access opportunities more effectively while keeping humans in the loop. We’re looking for projects that use AI in a meaningful way and show clear real-world value.

​Throughout the event, you’ll hear from guest speakers who are actively shaping the future of AI. Expect practical insights, thoughtful discussion, and a strong room of collaborators. Whether you’re coming to ship a project, meet talented teammates, or get a closer look at what top AI builders are working on right now, ALPHAG3N Hackathon @ Stanford is designed to make the experience worthwhile.

​Participants will compete in teams of at most 3. After building on May 23, teams will return on May 24 to pitch their final projects to judges in a 3 - 4 minute on-stage presentation, depending on the number of teams. Each team will also submit a short slide deck and a max 2-page write-up.

​We’ll have over $5,700 in team prizes, along with raffle giveaways, sponsor merch, and ALPHAG3N merch throughout the event.
