What to Build

You are free to design any application or video game that you'd like, in any programming language engine, framework, etc. Hackers are incentivized to build their project towards our theme of Food & Agriculture!

What to Submit

All teams will submit a ZIP file of their project alongside a Git repository (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, LFS, etc). All teams will participate in a "science fair" like judging environment where they will demo their project and talk about their work in an informal setting.
