F1 Hackathon: Building the AIC Dream Team
Represent the AI Collective. Build for Glory.
The AI Collective (70,000+ members strong) is forming a racing league for cracked builders: Team F1.
The Premise
We’re scouting the sharpest minds across the Collective - people who can ship, sprint, and out-engineer the competition. Together, we’ll form the F1 squad (and F2/F3 if needed) to compete in hackathons worldwide. We’ll find the tracks. You show up, build at lightspeed, and put AIC on the global leaderboard.
What We’re Building
This isn’t about clout, it’s about community.
Every project will push one central mission:
Accelerate human engagement. Engineer connections at scale.
There are 3 official build tracks, each designed to push the frontier of how humans and AI connect.
The Judges
Your work won’t just be tested - it will be scrutinized by some of the best minds in the world. Judges from OpenAI, Anthropic, Windsurf, and beyond will set the standard. This is the proving ground where only the sharpest builds cross the finish line.
The Stage
The F1 Hackathon is global and borderless, held virtually on Roam. No matter where you’re dialing in from, you’re on the track.
Why Join
Represent the world’s largest AI-native community.
Build with the fastest minds alive.
Compete on an international stage.
Leave with products, not projects.
This is the engineer’s dream: speed, precision, impact. Strap in. The race begins now.
