Hello everyone,

The MIT App Inventor team is pleased to announce that we will be sponsoring a worldwide hackathon during the week of July 12-18. This hackathon is being held as a substitute to our App Inventor Summit, which unfortunately we have had to cancel due to the ongoing SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. That said, we are really excited about the opportunity for people around the world to compete in a hackathon to make a difference using MIT App Inventor. We have assembled an amazing team of organizers from around the world to help us. Please check out our hackathon website to learn more and register to participate. Registration is open through June 19.

Cheers,
Evan W. Patton and Selim Tezel

You shouldn’t be submitting an existing app as part of the Hackathon. The goal during the hackathon is to build a new app over the course of the one week of the event. We will be announcing some specific themes that apps can address at the start of the hackathon so that everyone starts on an equal footing.

Since it is called the MIT App Inventor Hackathon you can only use App Inventor.

But using Thunkable we can make aia files?

18

Thunkable was once a App Inventor clone. But builders are very different these days. Even if you can make an aia doesn’t mean they are the same. So use App Inventor if you want to enter the Hackathon.
