About ReverieHacks 2026
Where every builder belongs
Virtual, three weeks, worldwide. Whether you ship hardware, AI, apps or ideas, you have a place to build here. Run by high schoolers, for builders from 102 countries.
Our mission
A hackathon built for making things
ReverieHacks was started by 5 high schoolers who were tired of hackathons that reward pitching over building. For three weeks, builders from 102 countries work on things they care about, with mentors from Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, OpenAI and Coinbase who help them along the way.
Whether you’re in Ideathon sketching your first roadmap, or in Embedded soldering your tenth PCB, you have a track that respects your craft. All tracks judged equally.
