You can build at HackMeld, or help build HackMeld. They are different jobs, with different time commitments and different outputs. Both matter.

This page explains what each path will involve. It does not collect an application, a phone number or an email address.
For students who want to spend two days turning a problem into a working AI product with a team.
For students who want to design the event, build the brand, find partners and make the room work.
You can be interested in both, but the paths are different jobs, not a hierarchy. A participant builds a product. An organiser builds the conditions for that to be possible.
If you want to leave with something you made, participate. If you want to leave with a better room for other people to make things in, organise.
| Comparison | Participate | Organise |
|---|---|---|
| What you make | A working product with a team | The conditions for other people to build |
| Time horizon | Two days (planned) | Weeks before, plus both event days |
| Best if you | Want to build, test and demo | Want to design, write, organise or find partners |
| Current status | Registration not open | Team applications not open |
Current status applies as of this page version. No path is open.
The organising team is mapped by function, not by title. These are the areas that need an owner before the first edition can happen.
Direction, priorities and the decisions that keep the first edition honest about what it can deliver.
The story, recruitment and public channels — written carefully enough that students and parents can trust it.
Identity and campaign materials, from the site and type system to the signage in the room.
The practical hackathon experience: venue, safety, schedule, food, power, network and the backup plan.
Exploring support and collaboration through written terms, without letting funding decide the outcome.
Brand, team structure, school conversations and the event plan. This is where HackMeld is today.
Dates, venue, eligibility, safety and registration process — only once they are confirmed and reviewed.
A clearly marked open call with a verified link. No hidden waiting list and no invented deadline.
No date is implied by this page. Confirmed details only.
No question is answered with a claim we cannot support. If something is not settled, it says so.
Nothing is open. When it is, the confirmed link will appear on this page first — not in a direct message, not on a countdown and not in a form that asks for your data before there are rules.
Build beyond ideas.
