We're back. 🔥
HackStorm 2.0 is coming to Silicon Valley — May 22–24, 2026.
HackStorm 1.0 started as an experiment: can a curated group of builders ship real AI hardware in 48 hours? The answer was 17 working prototypes from engineers at Stanford, Berkeley, Google, and NVIDIA.
Now we're going bigger.

HackStorm 2.0: Vibe Coding to Physical AI
Two tracks. Can you go from prompt to prototype in 48 hours?
🤖 AIoT Track — Build with the Tuya T5AI dev board
🦾 Robotics Track — Control the AgileX Piper robotic arm

$6,000 in cash prizes. Hardware gifted to every team. Expert consulting on prototyping, manufacturing, and fundraising for all participants.
This isn't a typical hackathon. We curate. We cap teams. We only accept builders who are serious about making AI physical.
Join us with explorers, makers and creators from tech giants, Stanford, Berkeley and Startups — this one's for you.
