About the challenge

Hack Days are 12-hour-or-less, in-person mini hackathons powered by Major League Hacking (MLH) and our amazing partners (like Google, MongoDB, and GitHub). MLH wants organizers and hackers to have time and space to hack outside of full weekend-long hackathons.

Requirements

What to Build

It’s time to push the boundaries of what's possible with AI using Google Gemini. Check out the Gemini API to build AI-powered apps that make your friends say WHOA. So, what can Gemini do for your hackathon project?

  • Understand language like a human and build a chatbot that gives personalized advice
  • Analyze info like a supercomputer and create an app that summarizes complex research papers
  • Generate creative content like code, scripts, music, and more

Think of the possibilities… what will you build with the Google Gemini API this weekend?

What to Submit

Submissions are typically made via Devpost and should include a project description and ideally a link to open-source code
