Overview
📆 Friday, May 1st, 2026
⏰ 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM
📍 Google, King East Toronto HQ
This is not a traditional hackathon, your project should have no market-fit and no practicality. We want chaotic, weird, funny, and oddly brilliant ideas that make people say, “wait… why does this actually make sense?”
Note: This is a solo hackathon, no teams, just individual builders.

Rules
- Projects must be original and created for this hackathon (no fully pre-built old projects).
- You can use open-source tools, APIs, and libraries, but your main idea and implementation should be your own.
Some Project Ideas (Don't Use These)
- Cursor Companion: your mouse has emotions, gets tired, and reacts to what you click
- Fridge That Judges You: camera + AI that roasts your food choices in real time with dramatic commentary
- Social Credit for Your Friends: ranks your friends based on how fast they reply, cancel plans, etc.
