A.I. & Food Hackathon

​Compete for $1,000 in a one-day hackathon focused on building with real food data — across nutrition, supply chain, cost intelligence, ingredient transparency, and sustainability.

​Show up. Pick a problem space. Form a team or go solo. Build something real in a few hours. Demo it. Win prizes. Oh yeah — free food.

​No food tech experience required. You'll get everything you need on-site, including access to the Journey Foods API: a powerful set of endpoints built by food scientists and engineers. Pull real data on ingredient analysis, nutritional profiling, supply chain sourcing, cost benchmarks, sustainability metrics, and more. It's your shortcut to building something smart without needing a PhD in food science or a procurement degree.

​$1,000 in cash prizes plus a pipeline to Georgia Tech's Food & Beverage Accelerator program, and more.

​Categories include Best Overall, Most Creative, Best Data Insight, and People's Choice. Full prize details announced at kickoff.

​Developers. Vibe coders. Entrepreneurs. Hackers. Students. Influencers. Designers who want to prototype. Founders exploring food tech. Anyone who wants to build something in a day using AI-powered food data.

​You don't need to be a CS major or a senior engineer. If you can prompt, you can build here.

​Bring a laptop. Teams of 2–4 recommended, but solo builders are welcome too.

​Science Square Labs is a life sciences and innovation hub on Georgia Tech's Westside campus. 13 floors of lab and collaboration space with skyline views, right at the intersection of North Avenue and Northside Drive. You'll be building at the center of Atlanta's emerging biotech district.
