Build From Scratch: Season I is a creator-first hackathon that celebrates pure engineering. No libraries, no shortcuts—just your logic, your code, your imagination. Participants choose any system they’ve always wanted to understand deeply and build it from the ground up: a neural network, a mini-database, a compiler, a game engine, or anything that pushes their fundamentals. This is your chance to break things apart, rebuild them your way, and truly learn how technology works under the hood. Pick an idea → break it down → start coding from scratch. You can build anything: an AI model, a protocol, a VM, a graphics engine—your creativity decides the direction. Keep it simple, keep it original, and most importantly: build to learn.
