Raven Hacks VTL was presented by Univa Dev, a nonprofit preparing the next generation of STEM leaders for the AI age. It was run for students, by students — open exclusively to participants aged 13–18.
The theme was AI, STEM, and creative problem-solving: projects that address real-world challenges using technology. Teams had nine days to go from an idea to a working demo, with mentors, workshops, and sponsor tooling available throughout, before submissions closed at 11:59 PM Eastern on March 22, 2026.
What teams submitted
Project title and description — a clear name and a 200–500 word overview explaining the problem it solves, how it works, technologies used, and challenges overcome.
Demo video — a 2–3 minute walkthrough hosted on YouTube, Vimeo, or similar, showing the project in action.
Code repository — a link to a public GitHub repo (or equivalent) with source code and a README covering setup instructions.
Team info — all team members and their roles.
Anything else (optional) — slides, prototypes, or additional documentation.
