Claude AI Hackathon - Machines of Loving Grace
Claude AI Hackathon: Machines of Loving Grace
Sponsored by Anthropic, Oxford Cambridge Fellowship, and Uncooked Jobs
The Claude Builder Club Cambridge is hosting an 8-hour hackathon, and the clock doesn't stop.
Building with AI has never been more accessible. But speed without strategy is just noise. This isn't about sitting back and letting your tools do the thinking. It's about knowing when to prompt, when to steer, and when to ship.
In 8 hours, you'll go from idea to end-to-end product. That means making real architectural decisions under pressure, using AI coding tools with intention, and proving you can build something that works, not just something that compiles.
Whether you're a seasoned builder or someone with a bold idea and the drive to see it through, this is your proving ground.
Apply now and build something groundbreaking with Claude.
What's on offer
Free Claude Pro and $25 in API credits for eligible participants
Access to Claude and Anthropic's tools to build with on the day
Food and drinks provided throughout

About Uncooked Jobs
Hiring doesn't have a matching problem. It has a trust problem.
Candidates send 140+ applications and get ghosted. Founders get 1,000 and can't tell who can deliver. CVs and LinkedIn are self-reported. It's easier than ever to look more qualified than you are.
Uncooked Jobs is building the verification layer for hiring. Candidates build their persona once, apply with 3 short audio answers, and get a guaranteed response straight from the founder. No CVs. No cover letters. No ghosting.
Alongside the platform, Uncooked is building Uncooked Labs, a community for people building robots, engineering systems, and launching rockets. 400+ signups at King's College London. Speakers from Shadow Robot, ARIA, Unitree, and Ex-Humanoid AI.
Through The Outliers Fund by Uncooked, the winning team receives subsidised entry into the Oxford Cambridge Fellowship Cohort 2. Part of their broader mission to help 1 million young people access meaningful opportunities by 2030.
