Technology for Good 2026

About the challenge

The Technology for Good Hackathon is a 40-hour innovation sprint where students collaborate to design and build technology that addresses real-world challenges. Hosted by the King’s AI Research Club, this is the first-ever internal hackathon at King’s, bringing together students from all programs to explore how technology can create positive impact.

Participants will work in teams to develop software or hardware projects that tackle meaningful problems. Whether you’re interested in AI, web development, data science, hardware, or simply learning something new, this event is designed to be welcoming to both beginners and experienced builders.

The hackathon begins on March 12th at 5:30 PM with an opening ceremony and introductory workshops to help participants get familiar with the tools and technologies they may use during the event. From there, teams will begin building their projects during the hacking period.

Throughout the event, participants can also take part in fun mini-events like Mario Kart tournaments and trivia, giving everyone a chance to take a break, connect with others, and enjoy the experience.

On the final day, teams will submit their projects and present them to a panel of judges, who will evaluate submissions based on creativity, impact, and technical execution.
