Build With Nova

Overview:

A 48-Hour Online Hackathon by Nova

24–25 October 2026 | Online | Teams of 1–4

Build With Nova is a 48-hour online hackathon organised by Nova, bringing together developers, students, builders, AI enthusiasts, indie hackers, and technology creators to build and launch working products within a limited timeframe.

The hackathon is designed around one simple idea: give builders the tools, time, and freedom to turn an idea into something real. Participants can identify a problem they want to solve, develop their own product or solution, and use Nova CLI throughout the process to build, iterate, debug, experiment, and ship their final project.

Unlike traditional hackathons that revolve around a single problem statement, Build With Nova gives participants the flexibility to choose what they want to build. This allows teams to work on problems they genuinely care about while exploring different applications of technology across industries and use cases.

The Challenge:

Participants will have 48 hours to take an idea from concept to a working product. The objective is not simply to submit an idea or a prototype, but to build something functional that can be demonstrated and experienced by others.

Participants can work on projects across three broad tracks:

AI for Everyday Life:

This track focuses on products that solve practical, everyday problems or improve existing experiences. Participants can explore areas such as education, productivity, finance, travel, communication, health and wellness, personal organisation, and automation.

The idea is to identify something people deal with regularly and build a solution that makes the experience simpler, faster, or more effective.

Examples include:

• Productivity and personal organisation tools

• Education and learning products

• Financial planning or management tools

• Travel and planning solutions

• Communication tools

• Everyday automation

AI for Developers:

This track is focused on improving the way developers build and work. Participants can create tools that help developers write, test, debug, document, automate, or manage software more efficiently.

The track is open to both developer-facing products and tools that improve specific parts of the software development workflow.

Possible areas include:

• Developer productivity

• Coding and development tools

• Debugging and testing

• Documentation

• Workflow automation

• Developer utilities

• Software engineering tools
