Open Source AI Hackathon #3
Come ready to learn how to build AI Agents AND work with a team to build an AI Agent App! We'll start with a hands-on tutorial, so come ready to code! Bring your laptop!
You will need to have:
A recent version of Python (I use 3.11)
A vague idea of what an LLM is
An enjoyment of building things with code
You will get:
A hands-on, practical training to learn how to build AI
Pizza, the classic lunch fuel for hackathons
A snack in the afternoon that may or may not be bubble tea
You will have roughly 6 hours to make:
A public GitHub repo containing your project code
A presentation that you will get to give in front of the whole class (I mean group of hackers) and some Venture Capital judges
New friends :)
