Hack to the Future - Presented by AISC @ UW

Overview

Hack to the Future challenges students to use AI to create projects that bridge different disciplines and explore the past, present, and future. You can build AI solutions that connect seemingly unrelated fields, tackle overlooked problems, or predict societal and environmental consequences. This hackathon is a chance to use AI for impactful, forward-thinking projects.

Requirements

Teams should have between 2 to 4 members, and all participants must be of legal age in their country of residence. This hackathon is open to participants in the US only. You'll need to submit your project by March 1, 2026, at 7:00 PM UTC. Specific submission details like format or required technologies are not listed.

There's over $1,900 in cash prizes available, including $1,000 for the First Overall winner. There are also three track-specific prizes of $300 each for the Best of Bridge Builder, Best of The Ignored Problems, and Best of Collective Foresight. An Honorable Mention prize includes a one-month free Lovable Pro plan for the team.
