What to Build

Participants may build anything they are passionate about under one of the following tracks:

1. General Track

Build anything you’d like! This track is open-ended and encourages creativity across web, mobile, AI, games, tools, and more.

2. MCF Track: Better at Home

Create a product, service, or application that makes home life easier to manage. Your solution should improve a consumer’s daily life at home in a meaningful way.

Requirements for the MCF Track:

• The project must include a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) with at least one fully working feature.
• Preference will be given to projects that demonstrate something functional rather than ideas that only describe future possibilities.
• Include a Responsible Use Card or Model Card with your submission (instructions will be provided during the workshop).
• Preference will be given to ideas that directly improve people's lives at home, with a greater impact or a novel idea scoring higher than lower impact or less novel ideas.

What to Submit 

All teams must submit (one submission per team):

• Source files of your project - create a GitHub repository with the files for your project and include the link in your submission
• A video demo showcasing your project and how it works

Be sure your submission clearly explains:

• What you built
• What technologies you used (programming languages, frameworks, APIs, hardware, etc.)
• How it works
• How you would improve the project in the future
• Specify if you are submitting to the MCF track
