Spring 2026 Project Competition
Build something real. Show what you can do. The Spring 2026 Project Competition is The Hive's inaugural online hardware competition. Engineering students compete to turn ideas into real, working projects across four categories: Digital Systems + Engineering Concepts Embedded Devices + Smart Systems Robotics + Autonomous Mechanisms Aerospace + Advanced Mechatronic Systems Each category is judged independently, with team size, budget, and project scope taken into account so every competitor has a fair shot regardless of resources. Projects are scored 70% by a judge panel evaluating technical execution, documentation quality, and overall ambition, and 30% by community vote.
