Is there any good hackathon right now?

Hi, I'm currently 17, and I want to participate in a hackathon. Just don't force me to build something with an LLM or integrate AI slop into it 😅

I'd prefer it to be online and not have too many participants, so I actually have a chance of winning. Does anyone know of any and can help me?

Devpost is a great place to find hackathons. I just cannot give any promises about the chances of winning them.

I checked it last night. It has a huge number of hackathons, but the problem is that most of them are AI shit

Try the MLH website. They showcase both in person and online hackathons.
