If it runs, it counts. This prize goes to the best software-only project of the weekend, whether that’s an app, a tool, a game or an AI experiment that works and makes people say “I’d use that.”
What counts: web apps, mobile apps, desktop tools, AI and machine learning projects, games, browser extensions, bots, APIs and developer tools. Any language, framework or platform is fine.

Best Hardware Hack
Build something you can hold. This prize goes to the best project that brings code into the physical world, whether it’s a gadget that senses, moves, lights up, beeps or talks back.
What counts: anything with a physical component that’s central to the project. Examples include microcontrollers (Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi), sensors, motors, robots, wearables, IoT devices, custom controllers and hacked-together gadgets. Software can be part of it, but the hardware should do real work.
