Judging at Hack-Nation: 6th Global AI Hackathon
Judged the 6th Global AI Hackathon, Hack-Nation's largest to date (5,500+ applications, some 2,500 builders across 12 hubs), run with the MIT Club of Northern California and the MIT Club of Germany. Scored seven projects on the jury.
Served on the jury for Hack-Nation's 6th Global AI Hackathon, its largest edition to date, run in collaboration with the MIT Club of Northern California and the MIT Club of Germany. The 24-hour global build sprint on 18 to 19 July 2026 drew more than 5,500 applications and some 2,500 builders across 12 hubs worldwide and online, with participants from more than 125 countries and universities including MIT, Stanford, Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge, and ETH Zürich. Teams tackled six challenge tracks set by partners including ElevenLabs, Databricks, Maschmeyer Group, and RealPage, competing for more than 50,000 dollars in prizes. I reviewed and scored seven of the submitted projects against the judging rubric; the top two teams in each challenge advance to the live grand-final pitches on 25 July.
