Most hackathons reward the pitch. AImpacto Hackathon 2026 is built to reward learning.
The project brings together university students, AI experts, startup founders, and business mentors in an intensive building experience. Teams will work on real problems, learn AI foundations, receive direct mentorship, and present what they actually built and understood.
The program is structured around four learning phases:
- Team formation around real problems and complementary skills.
- Technical development through hands-on AI building.
- Speed dating mentorship with AI researchers, founders, and industry experts.
- Technical presentations where every team member explains their contribution.
Evaluation focuses on individual contribution, technical understanding, and problem identification. The goal is to help participants leave with practical AI skills, clearer entrepreneurial judgment, and a stronger sense of how technology can create responsible social impact.
