Best Use of Gemini API
It’s time to push the boundaries of what's possible with AI using Google Gemini. Check out the Gemini API to build AI-powered apps that make your friends say WHOA. So, what can Gemini do for your hackathon project?
1. Understand language like a human and build a chatbot that gives personalized advice
2. Analyze info like a supercomputer and create an app that summarizes complex research papers
3. Generate creative content like code, scripts, music, and more
Think of the possibilities… what will you build with the Google Gemini API this weekend?

Best "Performative" Hack
Behind every great demo is… great storytelling. The Best Performative Hack rewards the projects that command attention with style, confidence, and maybe a touch of theatrical chaos. Because at the end of the day, half of hacking is building it, and the other half is convincing everyone you did.
Best "Overengineered" Hack
Why build something simple when you could build something impossibly complex? The Best Overengineered Hack rewards the team that pursued learning new technologies, and stretched their skills far beyond their comfort zone.
