Raptor Hacks 2026 is a student-led, on-campus hackathon exclusively for Montgomery College students. The event is designed to introduce participants to practical AI development through hands-on learning and collaborative building.

As part of the Build with AI initiative, we will integrate an official Google AI codelab before the main hacking session. Students will gain guided experience using Google AI and Cloud tools, then apply those technologies to build small, impactful prototypes during the hackathon.

This event focuses on accessibility and skill-building for students who may be participating in their first hackathon. By combining structured learning with project development, Raptor Hacks aims to strengthen the local developer community at Montgomery College and encourage responsible, real-world AI experimentation using Google technologies.
