How it works
Three moves. Rebuild one thing you pay for monthly so that you own it, ship it open-source, and the hardware to keep it running comes from us.
1. Pick#
Anything with a monthly bill. Netflix, Realms, iCloud, the gym.
2. Rebuild#
Same job, your hardware, open source. One file starts it.
3. Keep#
The hours you logged buy the gear to keep it running.

The terms of the deal#
| what it is | An online hackathon with no venue and no single weekend. You build from wherever you are, on your own schedule, and finish when it is finished. |
| who it is for | Anyone aged 13 to 18, anywhere on earth. Free to enter, and nothing to pay later. |
| what you get | Ship a project and pick real hardware off the shop list: blank discs to hold your library, or a Plex plan to serve it. Unlimited unless a listing says otherwise. |
| how hours count | Track build time with Hackatime. Once your non-AI hours are approved they become spendable, and that approval is the only gate. |
