UCSC AI Hackathon — Application

Build with us, October 10–11. Two days at UC Santa Cruz’s Silicon Valley campus in Santa Clara. Three tracks, real prizes, and engineers from the companies building this stuff in the room with you.
Open to university students, high school students, and startup founders of any age. Teams of up to 4 — apply as a team or solo and we’ll match you.
Everyone must submit their own application. Teams are not reviewed together — every applicant is evaluated individually.
Takes about 5 minutes. September 16, 2026 is the priority deadline — apply by then for priority consideration.
