Join Nerds Room for the Stripe Community hackathon: Simplify your tech stack with AI — a hands-on hackathon where developers will explore Stripe Projects, AI-powered development, and modern ways to build and ship real applications.
This is a solo-entry hackathon, designed for developers who want to turn an idea into a working project while experimenting with Stripe's developer tools and AI-assisted coding workflows.
During the hackathon, participants will choose a project idea, set up their development environment, integrate Stripe, and build a working solution. Come ready to experiment, build, learn, and showcase what you create.
