LUMA Hackathon 2026 is a 2-week virtual build competition for high school and middle school students across the US. This is a challenge for creators and coders. Show us what you can build. What is a Hackathon? A hackathon is a technical sprint. You will execute a functional project like an app, website, or software tool that solves a real world problem through code. Round 1: Project Submission Submit a 5 minute video demonstration covering: The Problem: What specific technical or social challenge are you tackling? The Build: A walkthrough of your codebase, architecture, and the stack used. The Demo: A screen share recording of the project functioning in real time. Scalability: How is this project suited to handle more data or more users? Round 2: Live Finals The top technical projects will advance to a Live Demonstration and Q&A. Finalists will run their code live for a panel of judges and defend their technical logic and architecture in a real time discussion.
