Contrathon '26 — Test. Build. Win. The hackathon where you don't just ship code — you understand every line of it. Contrathon '26 is organized by Contral AI, the team behind Contral IDE — the first IDE that teaches you while you build. We're tired of developers shipping code they can't explain. This hackathon is our answer. Whether you're a CS student, a self-taught developer, or someone who's been vibecoding their way through projects without truly understanding the codebase — this is for you. Prize Pool: $101 distributed among top winners. Team Size: Up to 4 members. Certificates: 3+ (Founder Testing Team, Participation, Winner/Finalist). Format: Online — participate from anywhere. Tools: Contral IDE (early access provided to all participants).
