Join developers and innovators for the ultimate hackathon experience. Build the future in just three days.
About Build Hackathon
Build is an innovative local IT hackathon that challenges participants to think beyond conventional boundaries. Participants receive production-grade databases from real industries but with a unique twist: they cannot build applications for the data's original purpose. Instead, they must reimagine, repurpose, and transform structured data into bold, unexpected digital solutions. This creative limitation drives participants to explore unconventional approaches, showcasing both technical expertise and innovative thinking to our tech-savvy audience of industry leaders, educators, and fellow developers.
