Hey, you made it. Welcome.
Maybe you've never built anything before. Maybe you've tinkered a little but never finished something. Maybe you're just curious about AI and want to see what the fuss is about. Wherever you're starting from — you belong here.
NeuralSprint is an online hackathon where you take an idea, build it out, and walk away with a real project you actually made. That's it. No gatekeeping, no intimidating prerequisites, no "you need X years of experience to join."
So what do I build?
Anything you want — as long as it involves some element of AI or technology. A simple tool that solves a problem. An app that makes someone's day easier. A weird experiment you've always wanted to try. Big or small, polished or scrappy — it counts.
Do I need a team?
Nope. Solo is totally fine. But if you want to team up with others, that's great too. Some of the best projects come from two people with completely different skills working together.
What if I get stuck?
That's what mentors are for. You won't be left figuring it out alone — there's support built into the whole experience.
Requirements
- Project Name: What's your project called? Keep it simple and memorable.
- Tell Us About It: Walk us through your project in your own words:
- What problem are you solving, or what does your project do?
- How does it work?
- What are the main features?
- What tools, languages, or APIs did you use?
- Who is it built for?
- Show Your Work (Required): Upload at least one screenshot, video, or file that shows your project in action. We need to see it working — or at least what it looks like.
- Project Link (Optional but Encouraged): Got a GitHub repo or a live demo? Throw the link in. It helps judges get a better look.
- Your Team: List everyone who worked on the project and what they contributed. Flying solo? Just put your name down.
