๐ ๏ธBuild, innovate, and #HackTogether!๐ ๏ธ It's time to get started building apps for Microsoft Teams. ๐ฅ
HackTogether is your playground for coding and experimenting with Microsoft Teams. With mentorship from Microsoft experts and access to the latest tech, you will learn how to build Teams apps based on the top Microsoft Teams app scenarios. The possibilities are endless for what you can create... plus you can submit your hack for a chance to win exciting prizes! ๐ฅณ
The hackathon starts on June 1st and ends on June 15th. It is recommended for participants to follow the HackTogether Roadmap for a successful hackathon.
Follow the steps below to successfully complete the hackathon.

If you are looking for scenarios or project ideas to get inspired, we have many samples available for you to explore! Check out below repositories to discover what you can build and get some inspiration for your hack!
Projects will be evaluated by a panel of judges, including Microsoft executives, product managers, and developer advocates. Judging criteria will include innovation, impact, technical usability, and alignment with corresponding hackathon category.
The winners will receive the following exciting prizes (up to 4 individuals if submitting as a team, prizes for each person on the team). Winning solutions and/or product feedback may also be considered for integration into the Microsoft Teams product roadmap. Winners will also have the opportunity to showcase their projects to experts and leaders on Microsoft 365 Community Calls and on our YouTube channels.
๐ Grand prize winner: The best of the best! This category rewards the solution that meets all judging criteria, wows judges, and has potential real-world value for the 300M Teams users.
๐ฅ Best AI-powered solution: This category rewards the solution that integrates AI or machine learning in an innovative way. For example, a chatbot that automates common tasks in Teams or an app that uses AI to suggest relevant files for users.
