#CODETOIMPACT Hackathon 2026

#CODETOIMPACT Hackathon 2026 is a one-day, AI-enabled challenge for undergraduates, hosted by GIC with Anthropic in Singapore. Taking place on 18 September 2026, from 8:30am to 10pm, the hackathon gives students the opportunity to solve a real-world business problem while experiencing how GIC’s technologists work with smart tools and data. The event is organised in collaboration with Anthropic, whose team will also share insights on the day. ## What to expect Finalists will receive the problem statement online at 6pm SGT on 17 September, ahead of the in-person hackathon. On the day, participants will be randomly assigned to teams of four or more and work together to develop a solution. Teams cannot select their own members, creating an opportunity to collaborate with students from different universities, disciplines and backgrounds. Alongside the build challenge, attendees can expect: - Hands-on guidance from GIC technologists - Exposure to an AI-enabled working environment - A chance to tackle a genuine business challenge - An exclusive evening networking session with GIC experts - Opportunities to connect with like-minded students - Prizes for successful participants - The possibility of fast-track access to GIC’s Early Careers Programmes ## Who can take part? Applications are open to undergraduates from every discipline and major. You do not need to study STEM: enthusiasm for technology, problem-solving and teamwork matters most, although some familiarity with technology is helpful. The application process includes an online technical assessment through HackerRank, followed by the announcement of finalists on 31 August. ## Practical details The hackathon will be held at the GIC Singapore Office, Capital Tower, 168 Robinson Road, Singapore 068912.
