SuHack 2026: NeuroBridge AI Hackathon is a one-day, deep tech hackathon hosted at Sabancı University, bringing together students to build real AI systems on real-world data.
This is not a pitch competition.
Participants will work in teams to design and build functional AI prototypes within 12 hours, focusing on challenging problems at the intersection of artificial intelligence and neuroscience.
🔬 Hackathon Tracks
- Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) Prediction
Build machine learning models to predict molecular permeability across the BBB. - MRI-Based Analysis
Apply supervised learning and computer vision techniques to analyze brain imaging data. - Agent-Based AI Systems
Design intelligent agents for healthcare decision support, diagnostics, or automation.
⚙️ What Makes It Different
- Real datasets (not toy problems)
- Focus on working prototypes, not slides
- Technical mentorship from industry & academia
- Evaluation based on functionality, impact, and engineering quality
