Hackathon Challenges
Participants will be assigned to one of several Industry Tracks, each presenting unique challenges. While specific tracks and partner challenges are To Be Announced (TBA), participants will have the opportunity to indicate their top three preferences.
This is not just one track—it's a multi-industry challenge. You’ll get to choose from a growing list of Industry Tracks, each backed by a major partner and focused on a real-world problem.
✅ More tracks and partners will be revealed soon—stay tuned!
Upon registration, you’ll receive a form to indicate your top 3 preferred tracks. You’ll be assigned one based on your selection and availability.
✅ [Track 1] Qualcomm Track: Edge AI Consumer Utility Application
Develop a powerful, AI-driven utility app for everyday users that operates entirely on-device using the Snapdragon X Elite platform.
What Qualcomm is Looking For:
Consumer-Oriented: The app should appeal to a wide range of users and offer clear, everyday value.
Utility-Focused: It must help users accomplish a task—whether it's organizing, creating, assisting, or enhancing their experience.
Edge AI-Powered: The core functionality should include a probabilistic AI component (e.g., computer vision, audio processing, or generative AI) that runs locally in a resource-constrained environment.
Cross-Platform: While the app targets Snapdragon X Elite, it should be compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Developer-Ready: Submissions should include a GitHub repository with setup and run instructions. A polished consumer UI is not required—focus on functionality and innovation.
Tech Flexibility:
Use any programming language or framework.
Combine multiple AI modalities (CV, audio, Gen AI) as needed.
No internet connection should be required for core functionality.
Qualcomm will directly ship the Copilot+ PC with the Snapdragon® X Elite (loaner devices) to selected participants and collect them at the conclusion of the hackathon.
