About this hackathon

About the challenge

ForgeHacks is a student-focused online hackathon dedicated to AI for Real World Problems. We challenge you to forge practical, impactful AI solutions that address genuine challenges people and communities face today, whether in healthcare, education, or everyday life.

This is about building something that could realistically be used, tested, or extended beyond the hackathon. You will work across six specialized tracks (AI + ___), each with a focused problem space. Track prompts will be released closer to the event so everyone starts on equal footing.

What makes ForgeHacks special

  • Pure focus on real-world applicability of AI
  • Student-led organizing team
  • Emphasis on learning, mentorship, and building something that lasts

Get started

  • Register on Devpost

  • Join the ForgeHacks Discord:

  • Form a team of 1–4 students (solo is welcome). Find team members on the Discord

  • Watch for track prompts and kickoff announcements

Whether this is your first hackathon or your tenth, come forge something real.
