Join us for our **3rd annual** national security hackathon, bringing the best builders in silicon valley to work on pressing problems for our nation. This year, we’re excited to welcome the [US Army](https://xtech.army.mil/) as an **official** partner via RFI, with support from Stanford’s Gordian Knot Center, Berkeley’s Defense Tech Society, and many other military stakeholders.

Apply to build on command & control, sensor integration, edge compute, cybersecurity, drones, and more, bouncing ideas off mentors & judges from the US government, military, and private industry leaders. 

*Top 5 teams will win ****$50,000**** in ****CASH**** prizes, courtesy of the US Army.*
