The Kennedy Hackathon: AI for Good challenges you to build innovative solutions addressing real-world issues using AI tools. We're bringing together Harvard and MIT students of all backgrounds to develop working prototypes that have meaningful public impact. Before arriving tomorrow, take these steps to make the most of your hackathon experience:
Create accounts on recommended platforms:
Beginners: Sign up for v0dev and replit
Advanced participants: Set up cursor
Start brainstorming possible problem areas you're passionate about
Review the agenda to understand the day's flow
Come with an open mind and collaborative spirit - you'll likely join others to form a team unless you come with a pre-formed group
Bring your laptop and charger
Prepare to pitch your idea (optional but encouraged) during the 9:15 AM session
