AI Tutor Hackathon
โ๐ The best teacher a student ever has is about to be an AI. Build it.
โOne-on-one tutoring is the highest-leverage intervention in education. Bloom's 2-sigma problem, 30 years unsolved because good tutors do not scale. AI changes that. What used to cost $80 an hour with a Stanford grad student now runs at $0.03 per student per session.
โBut the model is not the product. The tutor is. Which subjects. Which pedagogy. Which feedback loops. Which trust signals. Which handoffs to a real teacher when the AI hits its limits.
โThis weekend we build the tutors that actually teach, not just answer.

โ๐ Track 4 ยท Assessment & Feedback Essay grading, oral exams, code review. Fast, calibrated, humane feedback that a student trusts.
โ๐ Wildcard (Open Category) Any tutor concept that does not fit above. If a student would come back, build it.
