About

Eight hours. One room. The sharpest builders in New York.

The New York City Hackathon is the highest-signal hackathon in New York, bringing together the top interns and new grads in the city for an eight-hour sprint to build at the forefront of AI. Tracks will be announced soon. Just the best people in the city shipping real things, fast.

Everyone in the room was invited for a reason. We keep the guest list small and weighted toward people who already ship: the interns and new grads that other engineers quietly want to hire. The result is a room where your worst conversation of the day is still a good one.

The day itself is built to get out of your way: doors open in the morning, hands are on keyboards within the hour, and everything ends with live demos. Come with an idea or find one here. Either way, you leave having built something real.
