Most hackathons stop at the screen. This one doesn't.

Hardware is hard to run — boards, robot arms, toolchains, and someone awake at 2am when yours stops responding. We handle that part.

Every team gets real hardware, free, and mentors who have already debugged it.

48 hours from idea to a working demo you can put on a table and switch on.

Engineers ready to build past the browser tab — embedded, robotics, vision, voice, or none of it yet.

Makers and hardware tinkerers who would rather solder than make slides.

Researchers and founders with a Physical AI idea that needs a working prototype, not another paper.

Past builders came from Stanford, UC Berkeley, MIT, Google and NVIDIA. Every one of them applied — we select 150 from 400+.

Two tracks. Both ship real hardware.

 

AIoT — devices that sense, speak and react

AI pet badge · voice clock that coaches you · mood or astrology widget · AI companions with emotion, animation or speech · smart mirrors and displays with personalized intelligence · wearables, ambient devices, AI toys

 

Robotics — machines that move and act

arms that see and grasp · mobile robots that navigate, follow or fetch · teleoperation and imitation learning · sim-to-real on real hardware
