Buildathon 2.0

Buildathon 2.0 is a month-long project-building hackathon designed for makers, developers, and student innovators who want to transform ideas into fully working products. The hackathon encourages participants to go beyond prototypes and focus on building useful, functional, and impactful solutions. Over the course of May 2026, participants will work individually or in teams to develop products that solve real-world challenges across software, automation, AI, and digital experiences. Buildathon 2.0 values execution quality, originality, technical depth, usability, and clarity of presentation. The event is structured around milestone-based submissions and review stages to ensure participants keep building consistently. Top projects will be shortlisted and evaluated by judges based on product quality, innovation, implementation, and practical relevance. In addition to cash prizes, standout participants may receive exposure, collaboration opportunities, and career-related benefits. Buildathon 2.0 is ideal for builders who want to prove their ability through working products, not just ideas.
