Coder Games is ClueCon's take on the hackathon - an experience that blends coding, building, and interactive competition, included with your ClueCon admission. From the SignalWire Challenge for developers, to the FreeCycled Hacks for hands-on builders, to a game show style code-off, there's something for every skill level. Whether you code your way to the prize or build something entirely new, you can jump in solo or as a team and trun your ideas into reality.
Not building? Your're still part of the action. Join interactive games, cheer on competitors, and help decide winners in audience-driven challenges.
The Maker Space is your hands-on playground at ClueCon, packed with everything you need to flex your creativity. With Arduinos, Raspberry Pis, sensors, tools, and 3D printers at your disposal, you can tinker, prototype and turn your ideas into working projects.
Taking on the SignalWire or FreeCycled Challenges? Use the Maker Space to level up your entry. You might even earn bonus points for pushing the boundaries of what's possible!
Challenge: Build your own pinewood derby car to race!
FreeCYCLED Hacks is all about taking a break from coding and having fun building and engineering with household objects. This year we are challenging you to build your own pinewood derby car! At the end of the day we will race to find the fastest car.
Whether you’re a seasoned builder or new to DIY projects, FreeCYCLED Hacks offers a refreshing twist on a typical hackathon or networking event. No more awkward conversations around the coffee station; this is a great opportunity to make meaningful connections on day one of the conference in a fun, engaging, and relaxed atmosphere.
CHALLENGE: Troll a "spammer"
This year’s SignalWire challenge invites developers to prototype an AI-powered voice bot designed to intercept and troll spam callers using intelligent, context-aware dialogue. Participants will be provided with developer credits and the SignalWire team will be available to answer questions and help you build. For those who want to work beyond the one day limit, you can post your project on GitHub whenever it’s perfected as part of our Code Bounty!
