At HackHarvard, ASUS is taking over the Save the Earth track, focusing on sustainability! We invite hackers to create innovative solutions that tackle real-world environmental challenges. Whether you're rethinking how we consume resources, developing tools to promote sustainable habits, or finding new ways to reduce environmental impact, we want to see your ideas come to life. Think creatively, collaborate with your team, and use technology to make a meaningful difference for our planet.

Teams participating in the ASUS Sustainability Track will have access to select ASUS hardware to support their project development, including desktop monitors and portable monitors. Teams are encouraged to use the available ASUS hardware to bring their sustainability-focused ideas to life!

Calling all content creators, vloggers, and LinkedIn users! We would love to get an

Each member of the winning team will receive a Brick! (getbrick.com/)

Every day, people trust technology with their money, identity, and personal data. Build a project that makes that trust well deserved. This track covers fintech and cybersecurity: tools that make digital services safer, fairer, or more accessible, and tools that protect people, systems, and data from threats. This includes projects that detect online fraud, protect personal finances, and improve digital privacy.

Each member of the winning team will receive a drone!

Take your project off the screen and into the real world. This track is for any project that uses physical components: sensors, Arduinos, Raspberry Pis, microcontrollers, motors, wearables, robotics, or other devices. Whether you're building a smart home gadget, an assistive device, an environmental monitor, or something nobody has thought of yet, we want to see what you can build with your hands.

Win 5000 USD in Daytona credits!

Daytona provides fast, secure sandboxes for running code, built for the era of AI agents. Use Daytona to power your project, whether that's giving an AI agent a safe place to write and run code, spinning up isolated development environments on demand, or building tools that execute untrusted code at scale. Your project must use Daytona as a meaningful part of how it works. The team that demonstrates the most creative and effective use of Daytona wins.

Track Winner: $400 cash + $300 Photon credits + fast-track to the final interview round
Runner-Up: $200 cash + $100 Photon credits
Best Voice Agent: $300 cash + $100 Photon credits, for the best voice agent on a Photon phone number

Build an agent that lives where people already talk. With Photon 2.0, your agent gets a real phone number and a native presence across iMessage, SMS, RCS, WhatsApp, Telegram, email, and phone calls. Build companions that understand social context, multi-agent systems that collaborate with humans, or voice agents that answer and place real calls. To qualify, projects must be built on Photon 2.0 and live on at least one Photon channel. Most creative and technically impressive agent wins. A hands-on Photon 2.0 build workshop will be open to hackers from 4-5pm on Friday. Full track guidelines, requirements, and docs are linked here: https://somethingreat.notion.site/Hackathon-Guidelines-for-Photon-2-0-3f8e443f36bb81f9893fed0d08a4c01d

Anyone who submits to our challenge will be entered into a raffle for a Cursor Owala water bottle. Every member of the winning team will receive a branded Cursor mechanical keyboard.

Space gives you more to work with than almost any other field. You have access to enormous public datasets, decades of missions, and a literature no human can read all of. Real space data goes in and a legendary project comes out. To be eligible, your project must be built with Cursor. The more you use Cursor, the more likely you are to win. You must also use the Grok Imagine or Voice API in your project. Bonus points, if you use Grok Bot for project planning and team collaboration.

$1500+ in Apple Gift Cards for the winning team!

Build an agentic application that runs on contextual or real-world data, and prove it works! Use any part of Chalk (sandboxes, AI gateways, data integration, evals) in your stack. We'll consider a project's impact, use of data, and how it's evaluated.

$300 gift cards from giftogram for each member of the winning team

How will you reimagine banking? Nessie is CapitalOne’s REST API for hackathons. With simple HTTP requests, you can create customers, manage accounts, move money, check balances, and access ATM and branch locations. You can also set up peer-to-peer transactions. Nessie is structured to resemble how Capital One actually runs things, so what you build here maps to the real world. Show us how you can use Nessie in your project this weekend!

Droid is the coding agent behind Factory's CLI, desktop app, and web platform. With the Droid SDK, it can run inside your own projects. Droid plans the steps, uses tools, edits files, and runs commands. You decide when it runs, what it can access, and what it builds. So what will your Droid do this weekend? Show us the most creative, useful, or ambitious thing you can build with it. Get started in TypeScript (npm install @factory/droid-sdk) or Python (pip install droid-sdk) with the docs at docs.factory.ai.

The project must use the Droid SDK (TypeScript or Python) in a meaningful way. Droid should do real work in the running product, not just help you write code. The repo README should explain where and how Droid is used.

Winning team - $2000 cash, $200 in Factory credits for each member, and swag!
