作品案例

从蜂群协作中获得灵感，学生们打造了一个能同时派遣数百个AI智能体在Google街景中“采蜜”的智能系统。用户只需给出一个指令，这些智能体便会像工蜂一样自主规划路线、分区域扫描整个城市街区，并将发现的信息汇集回“蜂巢”，最终生成一份完整的城市问题地图，实现了从“单点识别”到“群体性、自主化地理侦察”的颠覆性突破。

该项目针对学生与职场人士普遍的演讲焦虑，打造了一个实时AI导师系统。用户只需打开摄像头与麦克风，系统便通过Google Cloud Speech-to-Text每250ms转写语音、MediaPipe追踪眼神与姿态，结合OpenAI生成苏格拉底式追问，每5秒给出语速、填词、停顿、眼神接触等精准反馈，让专业的演讲指导变得人人可触及。

针对阿尔茨海默病患者每年820亿小时非正式照护的沉重负担，该项目打造了一个由三智能体协同驱动的视觉记忆增强系统。用户佩戴智能眼镜自动记录生活视频，系统以Gemini 2.5 Flash预标注、Supabase安全存储记忆，结合ESI（情境特异性诱导）与SR（间隔提取）两大循证疗法。实现从原始图像回顾到AI驱动、温柔互动、长效记忆固化，帮助患者康复。

申请流程

HackMIT, one of the most influential campus hackathons in the United States, officially announces its China debut in March 2026! This specially designed tech extravaganza for middle school students will gather future tech leaders to code solutions for real-world problems and shape a better future through innovation. Whether you're a coding expert or an innovation newcomer, this will be your ultimate stage to showcase talent and bring ideas to life!

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)

Founded in 1861, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) stands as one of the world's most prestigious research universities, consistently ranked among the top institutions globally. It has repeatedly secured the 1st position in authoritative rankings such as QS World University Rankings, Times Higher Education (THE), and U.S. News & World Report. MIT's alumni and faculty have been awarded over 100 Nobel Prizes, spanning diverse fields including physics, economics, and beyond.

As one of the birthplaces of artificial intelligence, MIT possesses top-tier research resources in the AI field, housing world-class research centers such as the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), which brings together leading global scholars and interdisciplinary talent. The institution has produced multiple Turing Award winners—including Marvin Minsky, known as the "father of artificial intelligence," and John McCarthy, the "foundational theorist of knowledge representation"—whose work laid the groundwork for the discipline of AI. Former CSAIL director Rodney Brooks proposed the "subsumption architecture," pioneering the field of embodied intelligence, while the collaborative robot Baxter, developed under his leadership, was recognized as one of the world’s top inventions.

Furthermore, MIT continues to drive breakthroughs in areas such as machine learning algorithms and autonomous robotics, translating theoretical innovations into real-world applications—from Mars rovers to everyday technologies—consistently guiding the global trajectory of AI development.

HACKMIT

Founded in 2014 and hosted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, HackMIT has grown into one of the largest and most influential campus hackathons in the United States.

As an officially supported MIT initiative, HackMIT has earned widespread recognition in academia and secured backing from numerous leading tech companies, establishing itself as a vital platform for discovering and nurturing the next generation of technology leaders.

HACKMIT · CHINA

HackMIT China is set to launch in March 2026, opening its doors to students in grades 7-12 from China and around the world.

This marks MIT's first effort to bring an authentic hackathon experience to Chinese students. Under the guidance of MIT young mentors and tech industry experts, participants will embark on a 36-hour intensive innovation challenge, developing practical prototypes across four key fields: Education, Sustainability, Entertainment, and Healthcare.

Showcase Chinese Youth's Technical Talent on a World-Class Platform!

01、A Global Top-Tier Academic Standard

MIT's century-old educational philosophy of "Mind and Hand" (Mens et Manus) will be thoroughly implemented throughout HackMIT China. Your project will undergo comprehensive evaluation across four key dimensions - innovation , technical complexity, impact and learning&collaboration - assessed by a judging panel composed of Young Mentor and technology experts, applying top-tier academic standards to measure the value of each innovation.

02、A Platform Gathering 机构 Makers from Around the World

Here, you will compete with maker enthusiasts from across the globe! HackMIT enjoys exceptional international recognition—it is not just a technical challenge but also a cross-border innovation celebration.Each year, top students from over thirty countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Singapore, gather at this event. This platform offers you the opportunity to engage in deep exchanges with elite peers worldwide and connect with future technical pioneers who may change the world!

Winning teams will be invited to participate in the global finals at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in September,where they will compete head-to-head with outstanding makers from various countries, showcasing the innovative capabilities of Chinese students on a truly international stage.

03、A Stage for Passion and Ideas to Shine

We believe groundbreaking innovation stems from bold attempts, and every discovery in daily life can become the starting point for changing the world. Whether it's urban traffic congestion, medication reminders for patients, or waste sorting challenges – there are no predefined answers or constraints of conventional thinking here.We value every spark of inspiration and cherish every imaginative solution. Throughout the competition, MIT mentors will provide comprehensive technical support, ensuring your creative ideas receive professional guidance and every valuable concept can be perfectly realized!

Four Tracks

At HackMIT China, we have curated four forward-looking challenge domains for you.

These four tracks represent both the most pressing needs of our time and the most exciting opportunities for innovation. Here, every line of code you write and every spark of inspiration you have goes beyond technical practice - it becomes an active response to real-world challenges. Outstanding teams will be invited to the global finals at MIT next March, showcasing the innovative power of China's youth to the world.

Showcase Projects

Gold Award Project: Colmena - Geospatial Intelligence through AI Agent Swarms

Inspired by the collective behavior of bee colonies, this pioneering system deploys hundreds of AI agents that autonomously navigate and analyze Google Street View data. Like worker bees returning to their hive, these coordinated agents systematically sweep through urban environments, identifying and cataloging various urban infrastructure issues based on simple user commands. The platform represents a fundamental breakthrough in geospatial analysis, transitioning from traditional single-point detection to collaborative, large-scale autonomous reconnaissance capable of generating comprehensive urban assessment maps.

This project tackles public speaking anxiety by creating a real-time AI coaching system. Using a camera and microphone, it leverages Google Cloud Speech-to-Text for continuous speech analysis, MediaPipe for tracking eye contact and posture, and OpenAI to generate Socratic questioning. Providing precise feedback every 5 seconds on pacing, filler words, pauses, and engagement, it makes professional speech training accessible to everyone.

Addressing the staggering 820 billion hours of informal care required annually for Alzheimer's patients, this project developed a vision-based memory enhancement system powered by three coordinated AI agents. Users wear smart glasses that automatically record daily experiences, while the system utilizes Gemini 2.5 Flash for preliminary annotation and Supabase for secure memory storage. Incorporating two evidence-based therapies - Context-Specific Induction (CSI) and Spaced Retrieval (SR) - the solution transforms raw image review into an AI-driven, gently interactive process that promotes long-term memory consolidation to support patient rehabilitation.

Cutting-Edge Tech Workshops: Empowering Your Maker Journey!

Great ideas demand solid technical support. For this purpose, the MIT mentor team has meticulously designed five core workshops covering a complete skill system from software to hardware, beginner to advanced.

Whether you're new to programming or an experienced developer, these workshops will provide tailored guidance and technical empowerment suited to your growth path, helping you break through limits and bring innovative ideas to life!
