"What an incredible two days surrounded by passionate builders, mentors, and problem solvers. Huge shoutout to everyone made this hackathon such an energizing and memorable experience!" Ryan Soh "Had an amazing time at the Build for Impact Hackathon 2026. Although we didn't win, I'm truly proud of what my team and I built over the weekend. Learnt a lot about AI, collaboration, and problem-solving and most importantly, had a great time doing it." Dylan Heng "Should we cut our losses? This question echoed through my mind eight hours into the Build for Impact Hackathon 2026, when it felt like my team had hit a dead end. Instead of throwing in the towel, we persevered and built Beacon, a humanitarian aid platform that bridges language barriers in disaster response across Southeast Asia. It was an incredible lesson in resilience, fueled by teamwork!" Brandon Koh
