Who it's for

BHS students, mentors, and judges use it during hackathon demo day.

The one thing it nails

It makes student projects easy to browse and understand.

The twist

Each showcase includes the team's build journey, from first idea to final demo.

Build it for real at the hackathon

  1. Sketch the gallery, project page, and dashboard
  2. Build sample project cards and detail pages
  3. Add a simple build timeline editor
  4. Test the prototype with BHS students

Where AI could fit

A small model could turn a team's notes into a short project summary for its showcase.
