From
Brainstorms
to Beachfronts
Push your skills to the limit in a 48-hour coding sprint, and compete for a chance to join Morro Makers, an international tech collective, and win a stay on a private island just outside Rio.
Code hard, chill harder.
Get ready for a hackathon like no other. Morro Makers is bringing together a group of talented, early-career developers for an intense 48-hour sprint — not just to build something great, but to show what you're capable of when the stakes are high and the vibes are right. You’ll work in teams, tackle real-world product challenges, and collaborate with fellow problem-solvers who share your ambition and curiosity. This is your chance to code with purpose, connect with a global tech collective, and push your skills beyond the classroom.
But there's more than just pride on the line. Two winning teams will earn an all-expenses-paid stay on a private island just off the coast of Rio — a place to unwind, recharge, and celebrate what you’ve built. Whether you're looking to kickstart your career, join a dynamic international team, or just prove what you can do when given the right brief and the right people — this is your moment.

Each winner will receive a R$2000 cash prize, no strings attached. Put it toward your next project, gear, or just take the win.
45-day
coding bootcamp
Winners also gain access to a 45-day advanced bootcamp to sharpen your skills and push your technical edge further.
Invitation to join
Morro Makers
Outstanding participants may be invited to join Morro Makers — a global team of developers, designers, and makers working on real-world products.
Two challenges
One goal: Impress us
You’ll have 48 hours to tackle one of two real-world problems inspired by products we’re building. Choose your challenge, form your strategy, and show us what you’ve got.
Smart pricing
for smarter bookings
Build a system that automatically adjusts space rental prices based on demand, seasonality, and revenue goals. We’re looking for clever pricing logic, real-time updates, and a clean interface that puts users in control — without overwhelming them.
Let users book
with a simple message
Create a chatbot powered by natural language processing and generative AI that can guide users through a full booking flow. It should understand intent, handle edge cases, and make the reservation process feel like a human conversation — but smoother.
Ready to
prove
yourself?
The Morro Makers Hackathon is more than just a weekend of coding — it’s a chance to connect with other talented developers, take on real-world challenges, and show what you're capable of under pressure. You’ll work in teams, build a functional prototype in just 48 hours, and pitch your idea to a panel of experienced makers.
If your team stands out, you’re not just taking home a prize — you’re unlocking access: to a private island getaway, cash, advanced learning opportunities, and a chance to join our global tech collective. Whether you win or not, you'll walk away with new skills, new contacts, and a serious project under your belt.
