Homecoming AI Educate Hackathon

תיאור

🛑 School is back. The tools that will actually teach are being built this weekend.Every classroom, every campus, every learner is asking the same question in 2026: what does AI change about how we teach and learn? Not the demos. The daily work. Homework, feedback loops, attention, mastery, motivation.Building a chatbot is easy. Building a tool a teacher adopts twice is the hard part. This weekend we build for the students, teachers, and administrators who show up Monday morning.🛠️ Join our Discord for credits, team formation, and support: https://discord.gg/cswGFwFumn — 1-2 Builders per team📅 Schedule9:00 AM Check-in & Breakfast10:00 – 11:00 AM Opening Remarks and workshops11:00 AM Build12:00 PM Lunch1:00 PM Build4:00 PM Hard submission deadline4:00 – 5:00 PM Demos (3 min limit)5:00 PM 🏆 Audience voting and award ceremonyFocus Tracks🎓 Track 1 · Teacher-Facing ToolsGrading, lesson planning, formative feedback, IEP drafting, differentiation.
