Cursor Calgary Hackathon - SAIT

Join us for a 24-hour hackathon at SAIT built around one clear challenge: teams will receive a single fixed prompt from organizers and spend the weekend building their creative solution using Cursor, with credits provided. This is designed as a high-energy, practical build event focused on shipping something real in a short time. Teams of 2–4 will work through the same challenge framework, then finalists will present their projects on Sunday during the judging and demo block.
