What to Build

Teams are expected to design and build a solution that addresses a problem that fits within the theme. There is one overall theme for this hackathon, and it will be revealed on August 3, 2026, ahead of the event. Teams can find their own specific angle or approach within it. The theme sets the broad direction, but how teams interpret and apply it is entirely up to them.
