Dear MIT RAISE,


MIT RAISE and the App Inventor Foundation are excited to announce the return of the Global AI Hackathon! The Global AI Hackathon is a free, virtual hackathon that encourages people of all ages around the world to use MIT App Inventor to build AI apps for a cause. Winners will receive an all-expenses paid trip to present their projects at the MIT AI & Education Summit in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on July 16-18, 2025.

If you are interested in sponsoring the Global AI Hackathon, please view our sponsorship guide to learn more about the available tiers and benefits.

 

This year’s competition theme is the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). According to the United Nations, the 17 SDGs are intended “as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity.” The Global AI Hackathon invites you to think of a cause related to one of the SDGs, and identify a solution that utilizes AI in a responsible and ethical way to address that cause.
