The startup-style competition for high school and college students — and anyone who builds.
Every other competition ends with a certificate. We end with real opportunities.
Pick a domain. The idea is yours.
SAFE Security is an AI-powered cyber risk platform backed by $170M+ in funding. They're specifically looking for students building security solutions — threat detection, vulnerability tools, risk automation, defense solutions, and anything in between. Build something exceptional and you'll be reviewed directly by their team.
Build any financial technology software — payments, budgeting, lending, investing, or anything in between. Top performers are reviewed for internship and career opportunities with companies actively hiring in fintech.
Build software that improves healthcare — patient tools, clinical workflows, diagnostics, or health data. Top performers are reviewed for internship and career opportunities with healthcare technology companies.
Build software for industrial operations, logistics, manufacturing, or supply chain. Top performers are reviewed for opportunities with companies hiring in this space.
Build software that transforms education — from test preparation tools to learning aids. Crackd SAT is partnering with us to find the best Edutech builders. Top performers are reviewed for internship and collaboration opportunities directly by their team.
No domain required. Build software that solves any real problem — for local businesses, communities, niche industries, nonprofits, or anything else. Top builders are referred to relevant companies, accelerators, or mentors based on what they create.
Don't see your category? Build it anyway. These pathways are starting points, not limits — any software that solves a real problem is welcome.
From idea to shipped product — all within a single competition window.
Registration is completely free and takes under five minutes. Closes April 22, 2026.
