What is IGNITE?
IGNITE is a 2-day hackathon focused on learning. Our goals are to help you build iOS apps, drones, machine learning models, robots, fullstack web apps from scratch in 2 days.
You + 2 other hackers will work with a personally selected experienced student mentor 👩💻🧑💻 who will be there to help you scope, architect, and debug your project from start to finish.
At the end, you’ll demo your project in small groups. Get ready for a whirlwind of excitement, creative workshops 🎨 hacky build sessions 💪 and incredible vibes 🚀
Who’s this for?
This hackathon is all about inclusivity 👐 so we've got your back, no matter your skill level! If you’ve never done a hackathon, Duke IGNITE is for you :) If you’re a hackathon veteran, we’ll help you pick up a new library, framework, skill, or build something awesome 🎉
Here are some ideas, for free (and we’ll help you build them 🚀🚀)
🍿 GPT Movie Mashup: Create a web app that takes two movie titles as input and uses GPT to generate a hilarious movie plot that combines elements from both movies.
🎧 Spotify Friend Matcher: Build a mobile app with React to match mutual friends based on the music they groove to with the Spotify API
🤖 GPT-powered Storyteller: Create a fun app that generates unique, quirky stories based on user-input keywords or themes.
🌱 GreenThumb Library: Create a web app using a cool UI library like Tailwind CSS or Chakra UI to help users track their plants' health and growth, receive reminders for watering, and share tips with fellow plant enthusiasts.
😤 AI Rap Battle Generator: Use Whisper and GPT along with a killer backend on Node to make rap battles with celebrity personalities
