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.
