​AugHacks is not just a weekend hackathon - it's your launchpad into the future of human augmentation.

​Build, prototype, and reimagine the human experience, and meet the brightest minds in emerging neurotech, wearable robotics, computational olfaction, human-machine symbiosis, and more.

​🧬 Hackathon Tracks

​BELIEVE SHORT TRACK | 24-hour sprint

• ​5 Teams are eligible for the Believe Builders Prize:

  • ​💸 $500 Per Project

• ​Winners are invited to the MIT Media Lab to exhibit at our annual Augmentation Summit

​LONG TRACK | Continue building post-hack

• ​Participants are eligible for LONG Track Prize Pool:

  • ​🥇 $1000

  • ​🥈 $600

  • ​🥉 $400

• ​Winners are invited to the MIT Media Lab to exhibit at our annual Augmentation Summit

• ​On-site videography in partnership with LONG: Opt in to have your build process documented for self-promo and growth purposes! We provide both videographer and editor.
