This free, in-person event brings together Florida’s brightest technologists, engineers, creatives, and students to build, solve, and innovate around real challenges facing the Space Coast. Participants will choose between two tracks: Hackers (software) and Tinkerers (hardware) and develop solutions aligned with themes such as:

● Aerospace & Environmental Monitoring

● Semiconductors & Dual-Use Tech
● Energy, Sustainability & Infrastructure
● AI, Gaming, & Smart Cities

With support from AWS, the hackathon offers participants cloud credits, lab access, expert mentorship, and a highly collaborative environment to develop impactful solutions. The event culminates in a final pitch session where teams present the technologies they’ve built over the course of the weekend. Winners will receive prizes, public recognition, and potential follow-on support from industry partners and investors.

“This isn’t just another hackathon, it’s a bold effort to connect academia, industry, and government in meaningful ways,” said Ruchir Gupta, Industrial Designer at Groundswell Startups. “We’re building real solutions for real problems, right here on the Space Coast.”
