Constructor GenAI Hackathon 2026 - Multi-Agent & Decision Systems
Join us for four days of building, learning, and connecting at the Constructor GenAI Hackathon — an in-person event where students and alumni come together to develop real AI solutions for real industry challenges.
Co-hosted by Constructor University and Beyond the Pond Alumni Association, and in collaboration with BMW, Lovable Platform, Constructor Tech, and Constructor Knowledge Labs, this hackathon bridges the gap between academic talent and enterprise impact.
The hackathon is designed for teams of 2–3 people. Already have a team? Register together with one submission listing all members. Coming solo? No problem — register as an individual and we'll match you with teammates using Constructor Connect’s matching tool.
BMW - AI for People & Leadership Strategy
How can AI help a global industrial giant make smarter decisions about its people? Build GenAI tools that support BMW's workforce and leadership strategy — from spotting hidden talent and planning succession, to mapping upskilling paths and decoding compensation trends. The final call always stays with humans; your job is to make their decisions sharper, faster, and better informed.
Constructor Knowledge Labs - Autonomous Racing
Real sensors. Real speed. Real data. Work with synchronized camera and LiDAR data captured from an actual autonomous racing car to build perception and localization algorithms that help the car understand and navigate the track. For engineers who want to see their code perform at full throttle.
Constructor Tech - Understanding Learner Engagement
What does a distracted student actually look like — and can AI spot it in real time? Build a video processing pipeline that analyzes lecture recordings, detects behavioral signals like yawning or inactivity, classifies engagement levels, and helps personalize the learning experience.
All teams will develop their final product using Lovable — a powerful no-code/low-code platform that lets you bring AI-powered applications to life without getting lost in infrastructure. Whether you're a seasoned developer or brand new to building software, Lovable levels the playing field and lets your ideas take center stage.
This hackathon is open to Constructor University students and Beyond the Pond alumni. Whether you're a developer, data scientist, designer, product thinker, or simply AI-curious — all backgrounds and skill levels are welcome. Teams are interdisciplinary by design.
