About the MIT Hub
Join the 3rd global LLM Hackathon for Applications in Materials & Chemistry. This MIT hub is part of the global hybrid hackathon. Work locally at MIT while connecting with teams worldwide to prototype AI/LLM solutions for real scientific challenges.
Building on the success of the 2023 and 2024 hackathons (2023 paper, 2024 paper), we’re expanding our vision to foster a sustainable community around LLMs, agents, and multimodal models applied to materials science and chemistry.
Who Should Attend?
Everyone is welcome! Whether you are:
A computational scientist
An experimental researcher curious about AI
An AI enthusiast eager to apply your skills to real-world problems
This hackathon is designed for anyone curious about AI applications in chemistry/material science!
No prior hackathon or domain experience is required — what matters most is curiosity, enthusiasm, and willingness to collaborate.
