SUMMARY:Snapdragon Multiverse Hackathon
DESCRIPTION:Enter the Snapdragon Multiverse at Columbia University!\nJoin the Center for Smart Streetscapes (CS3) on February 6-7\, 2026\, for an immersive hackathon\, sponsored by Qualcomm\, where innovation meets connectivity. Teams of 3–5 will dive into the future of multi-device communication\, building experiences that redefine how devices work together. \nEvery team will receive a Copilot+ PC powered by Snapdragon® X Series processors as the central control hub and a Samsung Galaxy S25 featuring Snapdragon 8 Elite. Want to go further? Bring your own Snapdragon-powered devices or microcontrollers to craft seamless\, intelligent cross-platform solutions. \nFrom syncing sensors to orchestrating edge workflows to designing multi-screen interactions\, this is your chance to prototype the next generation of connected computing within the Snapdragon ecosystem. \nForm your team\, pick a track\, and start creating. Each challenge is designed to showcase Snapdragon’s power across PCs\, phones\, and microcontrollers—your playground for limitless innovation. \nThis event is open to all undergraduate/graduate students and postdocs at Columbia University\, as well as CS3 partner institutions (Lehman College\, Rutgers University\, and Florida Atlantic University). \nRegister by January 21\, 2026! https://luma.com/mfwgyqby\nTrack 1: Real-time CV Assistant\n\nPlatforms: Compute\, Mobile device\nAI Branch: Computer Vision\, Edge AI\nObjective: Develop an application performing real-time computer vision analysis (object tracking\, scene understanding\, anomaly detection\, or gesture recognition) optimized for on-device inference\, optionally enhanced by cloud augmentation.\nExample: License plate detection app to track cars coming in and going out of a parking lot.\n\nTrack 2: Conversational AI Companion\n\nPlatforms: Compute\, Android\, Cloud\, or Wearable\nAI Branch: Natural Language Processing\, Generative AI\nObjective: Build an interactive conversational AI application capable of voice or text-based interaction\, delivering real-time contextually aware responses for tasks like wellness coaching\, tutoring\, coding assistance\, or creative storytelling\nExample: AI dungeon master that can be used to create and narrate dungeons and dragons adventures.\n\nTrack 3: RL Agent Arena\n\nPlatforms: Compute\, Cloud\, Microcontroller\nAI Branch: Reinforcement Learning\, Simulation\nObjective: Build an interactive environment representing a real-world scenario and train an agent or team of agents to solve the scenario. Bots should have access to the environment state at a minimum\, but models could use AI tools or data augmentation techniques to improve their performance above the baseline environmental inputs.\nExample: Build a bot to dynamically handle traffic lights at an intersection in a simulated environment.\n\nSubmission Requirements\n\nEach team must submit a proposal for an AI use case application leveraging open source software that would run natively on a Snapdragon-powered laptop.\nThe proposal must be the work and/or idea solely owned by the team members.\n\nPrizes\n\nTop Prize (selected by judges):\n\nOne (1) Meta Quest 3 512GB All-n-One Mixed-Reality Headset for each member of the team\nQualcomm DevRel support to complete application\nBlog + Live Stream opportunities\n\n\nTeam’s Choice (team popular vote\, by location):\n\nOne (1) Ray-Ban Meta AI Glasses for each member of the team\nQualcomm DevRel support to complete application\nBlog + Live Stream opportunities\n\n\n\nExpect hands-on support\, networking\, marketing\, and amplification opportunities as well as prizes for the winning teams. Don’t worry – there will be swag for everyone! Note that the winners will be selected overall\, not per track. \nLet’s come together and re-define what multi-device collaboration looks like – powered by Snapdragon. \nRegistration open until January 21st – secure your spot today! \nOnly one project proposal submission per person is allowed. \nSnapdragon and Qualcomm branded products are products of Qualcomm Technologies\, Inc. and/or its subsidiaries. \nQuestions?\nEmail streetscapes@columbia.edu.
