Ready to build an AI product in 24 hours? Join VibeHack London 2026 at UCL to prototype and ship a live AI product, learn in hands-on workshops with mentors, and connect with sponsors to boost your skills, portfolio and industry contacts.
VibeHack London 2026 is a 24-hour AI hackathon hosted at UCL for students and ambitious builders who want to turn ideas into real products fast. The event is built around shipping a live working AI product rather than presenting slides or concept-only pitches, and it brings together people interested in AI-native products, rapid prototyping, and hands-on creation.
Participants can expect a full weekend of hacking and experimentation, along with workshops, sponsor introductions, tool demos, mentorship, and live judging. The event is open to both technical and non-technical builders, and it is designed for people who want to test ideas, build quickly, and show what they can make with AI at the centre of the process.
Prizes include a £10,000 prize pool, free access to top AI tools, and a Mac15 PRO for the Best Vibe Coder.
