AI isn't coming. It's already building. And Toronto is showing up.

This is Canada's largest Cursor hackathon — a 3-hour sprint during Toronto Tech Week on May 27, 2026, held alongside 120 individually developers, designers, product managers, and founders.

It's open-ended. Build whatever you want. Solo or in a team. Web app, agent, tool, toy, product, weird experiment, if you can ship it and demo it in three hours, it counts.

What makes this one different

Most hackathons give you a weekend. We're giving you 180 minutes, free credits, and a room full of the best builders in the city.

Six prize tracks. Very different kinds of wins, from the most technically impressive build to the loudest launch on social to the most revenue made before the buzzer. You don't have to be the best engineer in the room to win. You have to ship something people notice.
