What is Freeform?

Freeform is a creative build night for anyone who has an idea they've been sitting on. This is not a hackathon. There are no teams you have to form, no problem statements, no judges in suits. It's closer to an artist's open studio where everyone happens to write code.

4 Hours

One evening to ideate, build, and ship a project. The only rule is you ship it by the end of the night.

No Constraints

Something weird, something beautiful, something useful, something that should not exist. Build whatever you want.

Prizes & Presentations

Everyone presents at the end. Prizes for Most Whimsical, Most Useful, Best Hardware Hack, Most Artsy, Cursed Build, and Best Use of Cursor.
