CUTC: Transform Hackathon

CUTC: Transform Hackathon 🌐⚡

This isn’t a traditional hackathon.

It’s a global, AI-first build experience designed for the next generation of creators, builders, and problem-solvers.

Welcome to CUTC's Transform Hackathon.

🚀 What is CUTC's Transform Hackathon?

CUTC: Transform Hackathon is a week-long virtual build sprint bringing together 1000+ students from around the world, culminating in an exclusive in-person showcase event.

You won’t just be coding. You’ll be:

Prompting

Experimenting
