About

Hack @ DevFest Sudbury is a week-long MLH Hack Day hosted by GDG Sudbury, kicking off one week before DevFest Sudbury 2026.

Build something real using Google’s Gemini stack - solo or with a team. The best project wins $500 and a dedicated showcase booth at DevFest Sudbury on November 28th, where you’ll present live to the full DevFest audience and be evaluated by attending Google Developer Experts.

The day kicks off with a 1-hour hands-on session on Google Antigravity - led by GDG Sudbury organizer Hannan Max - so you’ll have everything set up and ready to build before hacking begins.

🎯 The theme is revealed at the kick-off session on November 21st. Don’t miss it.

What to build with:

  • Gemini API (free tier)
  • Gemini CLI + agents + skills
  • Google Antigravity
  • Firebase (Auth, Firestore, Hosting, Cloud Functions)
  • Google Cloud

To qualify, your project must use Gemini as a core feature - not just a wrapper. Everything starts from scratch on the day.

Submission: Email your GitHub repo + a short demo video via the submission form by end of day Friday, November 21st.

Prize: 🏆 $500 - one winner, best project

The twist: The winning project gets a dedicated booth at DevFest Sudbury on November 28th - demoed live to the full conference audience and evaluated by attending GDEs alongside a people’s choice vote.

    Best Use of the Google Gemini API

    It’s time to push the boundaries of what’s possible with AI using Google Gemini. Check out the Gemini API to build AI-powered apps that make your friends say WHOA. So, what can Gemini do for your hackathon project?

    • Understand language like a human and build a chatbot that gives personalized advice
    • Analyze info like a supercomputer and create an app that summarizes complex research papers
    • Generate creative content like code, scripts, music, and more

    Think of the possibilities… what will you build with the Google Gemini API today?
