Build tracks

Pick a lane, or don't

Three tracks to aim at, all built for Apple platforms. Every track has prizes on the line, and there are sponsor and wildcard prizes on top.

Enterprise

Solve a real business problem with AI. Internal tools, productivity, the unglamorous workflows a company would actually pay to fix.

Community Impact

Build something that does real good. Accessibility, health, community, the kind of app that helps people the moment it ships.

visionOS

Build for Apple Vision Pro. Spatial, immersive and hands-on, an experience that only makes sense in 3D.
