The brief
Build a project during the event and show your development history in a public GitHub repository. Participants must be able to explain their work.
Before you enter
- Include meaningful development commits, a project description and a demo video.
- Disclose significant AI assistance in the README. Check supported countries and the complete rules.
Details to confirm
The overview says “students only,” while the written rules say participants do not need to be students. Ask the organizer to confirm before entering if you are not a student. This discrepancy was present when checked on September 16.
