PyCon Singapore 2026 Hackathon
In collaboration with OpenAI and AI Singapore, PyCon Singapore 2026 is proud to present the:
🐍 Architecting the Future of Lifelong Learning Hackathon 🐍
— TRACK 1: JOB AND SKILLS TRACK —
Help a lifelong learner answer three questions fast:
🧭 Where can I go next?
🎯 What skills matter most?
🚀 What should I do today?
Build career pathway explorers, role-to-skill maps, skills-gap analysers, reskilling recommendation engines, personalised learning roadmaps, explainable dashboards or anything grounded and supported with credible data.
— TRACK 2: OPEN TRACK —
Have a passion project and would love to work on it? There is an open category. Build anything useful, creative, or playful. Everyone is welcome, whether you want to save the world with the next startup or build a LeetCode tool to help struggling CS students.
— HOW TO JOIN —
👥 Solo or Team (Max 3 members): Solo entries are welcome, but duos and trios are highly encouraged, particularly gender-diverse and inclusive team configurations.
🛠️ Build with Python: Use Python as part of the final submissions and the tools you love.
🤖 Leverage OpenAI: Use OpenAI APIs and models as part of your development workflow.
📊 Prototype & Publish: Show the user journey, your core logic, the data you used, and the concrete actions your product generates.
📝 Simple Submission: Submit via a simple form, and we will showcase your project.
📢 More Details: Full details will be announced on Day 1 of PyConSG during the opening session.

— JUDGING Hint: 50% PROCESS / 50% PRODUCT —
How you work with AI and other people matters just as much as what you ship:
Process (50%): Human-AI and human-human collaboration processes are central. Submitting your interaction logs is a mandatory part of the submission.
Product (50%): We look for relevance, technical execution, transparent and explainable data use, and a user experience that guides people to clear next steps without overwhelming them.
