Date: Saturday, October 24, 2026
Time: 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM
Venue: Computer Science Department, University of Ghana

• Fireside Chat: Discuss AI, vibe coding, and the future of software development.

• Replit Agent Demo: Discover what's possible with AI-powered app development.

• Hands-on Build Session: Turn your ideas into functional projects using Replit Agent.

• Project Showcase: Submit your project and video demonstration on Devpost.

• Prizes: Compete for Replit credits!

The hackathon is open to University of Ghana students. Beginners are welcome, and no advanced coding experience is required. You can participate individually or in a team.

Come with an idea, a willingness to learn, and the excitement to build something new.

Build. Learn. Share. Ship.

Build a functional project using Replit Agent that solves a problem, addresses a need, or brings an original idea to life.

Each submission must include:

• Project Name: A clear, descriptive name for your project.

• Project Description: Explain what your project does, the problem it addresses, who it is for, and its key features.

• Deployed Replit URL: Provide a working link to your deployed application. Ensure judges can access and test it.

• Video Presentation: Include a short video demonstrating your project, explaining its key features, and showing how it works.

Make sure your project link works and your video is accessible before submitting. Submit your project through Devpost within the designated submission period.

Projects will be evaluated on innovation, problem relevance, functionality, effective use of Replit Agent, and presentation.

1. Participants must be current University of Ghana students.

2. Participants may work individually or in teams.

3. Projects must be developed during the hackathon, although participants may arrive with ideas and plans prepared beforehand.

4. Replit Agent must be used as a key part of the development process.

5. All submissions must include a project description, a deployed Replit URL, and a video presentation.

6. Participants must submit their projects through Devpost within the announced deadline.

7. Participants must ensure their submissions are their own work and appropriately acknowledge any third-party code, assets, APIs, datasets, or other resources used.

8. Projects must not contain unlawful, harmful, discriminatory, or malicious content.

9. Judges' decisions will be final.
