Cursor Boston + Boston Tech Week bring together 80 developers for a morning sports hackathon, co-run with Hult International, BeatM, Red Bull, NFX, and MIT Sports Lab.
The Format
We open with networking and a guest lecture from the London School of Economics on the state of sports technology. After expert talks from industry partners, teams start a 2-hour build sprint. Projects are scored by AI and the room; finalists pitch live.
The Perks & Prizes
Guaranteed bounty for selected participants: $50 in Cursor Credits and exclusive Red Bull merchandise. Prize pool: $1,200 total in cash and prizes for top projects.
When & Where
Date: Tuesday, May 26, 2026 Location: Cambridge, MA — exact address is shown on Luma after your registration is approved.
How to Secure Your Spot
We have 80 confirmed seats; selection prioritizes open-source contributors, profile completers on cursorboston.com, active Discord members, and early registrants. Luma approval is required. After Luma, claim your spot on cursorboston.com/hackathons/sports-hack-2026/signup so we can rank builders by merged PRs to the community repo and signup time.
We qualify participants rigorously. If selected people don't meet criteria or drop out, we pull aggressively from the waitlist.
