Cyvl Hackathon 2026

APPLICATIONS CLOSED!!! WE ARE NOT TAKING ANYMORE APPLICATIONS Description: $12,000 in prizes. 48 builders. One day to build something real. Cyvl Hackathon, June 13 at Cyvl HQ. Use our data to fix real-world problems. Who should come: Student builders who actually want to make a change! Teams of 4! (You can some in solo or with a group) Cities have always been inspected by humans with clipboards. Slow, expensive, full of gaps. Cyvl made every street, sign, sidewalk, pole, and curb a data point. High-res imagery. LiDAR. CV tools you can train in hours. APIs that let your code query a real city like a database. Okay, but what can I actually build? Here are some ideas. Street Light Failure Prediction: Corroded poles. Failing fixtures. Flag them before outages hit. Layer in crime + traffic data to rank which blocks go first. Urban Heat Island Mapper: Cyvl tree canopy scans + satellite surface temps. Find the hottest neighborhoods. Show where cooling infrastructure is missing. Real Accessibility Auditor: A ramp on a map is not a usable ramp. Find every ADA route, then cross it with flood zones, pavement damage, and maintenance gaps. Score how accessible a city actually is, not just how it looks. Ages 18+ onlySend an email to xnishikawa@cyvl.ai for any questions/inquiries!
