$1000 AI Hackathon — ANYBODY CAN BUILD #NYTechWeek

Deadline: June 7

Eligibility: New York (13-17)

Description:

Overview:

Are you ready to build the future — even if you’ve never built before? ​

This is not just a hackathon. It’s a full-on creator’s playground where anyone — yes, anyone — can come in with zero experience and walk out with a real solution to a real problem.

​We’re bringing together the most curious, driven high school students (that’s you) and their friends for an adrenaline-packed day of building using the world’s most powerful AI tools:

• ⚡️ Bolt

• ⚡️ Lovable

• ⚡️ Cursor

• ⚡️ Windsurf

• ⚡️ And anything else your imagination can grab hold of. ​

5 hours to dream, build, and launch something wild. 1 hour to pitch live demos to our panel of secret judges. ​

Bring a problem you care about — or find one on the spot — and team up (up to 5-6 people) to build a solution that could blow everyone’s mind. ​

👉 Already have a team? Awesome — tell us your team members’ names when you sign up.

👉 No team yet? No problem. We’ll help match you with other builders at the event — just show up, and we’ll squad you up! ​

Awards? Oh yeah.

• 🥇 1st place: $750

• 🥈 2nd place: $200

• 🥉 3rd place: $50 ​

Plus… expect surprise swag, AI credits, and some epic bragging rights.
