Hackathons
Monthly virtual hackathons and in-person events. Form teams of three, build with Cursor, and submit your project.
Virtual Hackathon – March 2026
Runs from the 1st through the last day of the month. You must be on a team of exactly 3 to participate. One team member registers the project GitHub repo to start; at the end of the month you submit and lock. Commits after the 1st of the next month (Boston time) disqualify.
Current period ends March 31, 2026.
In-person hackathons
We run in-person hackathons at select events. Same team rules apply: teams of 3, form in advance or at the event. Check Events for upcoming dates.
