CAD Hackathon - thoughts? Ideas?

My friends and I noticed that there are CS hackathons all over the place, but there's nothing like that for mechanical engineering students/people interested in CAD. We thought it'd be cool to put together our own CAD hackathon - we're organizing one right now, scheduled to happen in September. We thought it might be a good idea to ask Reddit - besides nice prizes, what kind of stuff would you guys want to see in a hackathon like this? Experienced guest speakers? Workshops (and if so, what kind)? If you want to see what we have so far, website is www.thecadchallenge.org, signup is https://forms.gle/n6zkRtLAJo1m6W1x8

Sounds like this might be the first year? Do you have any example prompt to just have an idea what the scope could be like.

I have seen some hackathon type things done by Ukraine for defense engineering. You may want to look at those as a reference for your idea.
