EasyA x Flare Harvard Hackathon: Win $25,000 in prize money

We’re back at Harvard! Where so many of the world’s most most valuable startups were created. From the dorm rooms to the lecture halls, code that billions of people use every day was written here. And now, it’s your turn to build the future.

We’re bringing you the EasyA x Flare Hackathon in partnership with the Harvard Undergraduate Blockchain Club for what’s shaping up to be one of the biggest hackathons of the year. We're giving away $25,000 in no-strings-attached prize money! All to the best ideas and projects built at this hackathon. In just 36 hours, you could walk away with a huge prize and be on your way to launching the world's next unicorn!

If you're a startup founder or student thinking about building a startup, are excited about blockchain, or just want to tinker and learn new tech, you're in the right place!

This event will be co-hosted with the Harvard Blockchain Research Labs and Harvard Undergraduate Blockchain Club. We encourage any other universities and non-students to attend too!

Not a programmer? This hackathon is open to everyone regardless of technical experience (whether it’s ideation, marketing or presenting). We even have a special prize dedicated for non-coders!

Free to enter. Free food. Free code-level support available in-person 24/7.

Coding and no-code welcome!

Coders are welcome, yes! But if you don't know how to code, you're welcome too! After all, Steve Jobs couldn't code, but he had brilliant ideas and knew exactly how to market a product. So whether you're the idea guy or the coder, there's a space for you! We'll be doing team building on the weekend, so if you don't want to go solo or don't already have a team, you'll be able to find the perfect people to help you!

Experts from the VC, Web3, and AI world and more will be present in-person team will be present in person to help out! Whatever your knowledge-level, or whether you're a student or professional, we encourage you to attend! Past hackathon projects have turned into million-dollar startups - who knows, that could be you next!
