A sneak peek into the challenge...

Tapping, clicking, and swiping are relics of the past. The way we interact with technology is evolving... and we want you to lead the charge.

At this hackathon, you’ll design and build interfaces that break free from the screen, reimagining how humans connect with tech and create new forms of input.

This is your chance to invent the next generation of interaction - Replace screens with senses, clicks for gestures, glances, or brainwaves, everyday environments into seamless interfaces

Expect a high-energy day of building, collaboration, and creativity. You’ll have access to mentors, workshops, and cutting-edge tools to help you bring your wildest ideas to life.

Who should join? Builders, dreamers, and doers who want to push boundaries. Whether you’re a coder, designer, or visionary, this is your playground to rethink what’s possible.
