Oxford AI Hackathon

​About the Event

​Oxford AI Hackathon is a hands-on builder event bringing together developers, students, and AI enthusiasts to explore AI-powered coding with MiniMax! Hosted in collaboration with MiniMax and TRAE, this event will teach you how to build software through natural language instead of traditional coding.

​Free AI credits will be provided!

​Win big from a total prize pool of $1,500 USD!

​Location

​The Studio room, University Club, 11 Mansfield Road, Oxford, OX1 3SZ

​Cutting-Edge Tech

​You will work directly with MiniMax M2.5, MiniMax’s high-speed coding model, to design, build, debug, and iterate on real projects. This is a space to deepen your understanding of AI-powered coding, solve real technical problems, and build new things with a community of motivated makers.

​Community and Networking

​Connect with a like-minded group of builders in Oxford across AI, entrepreneurship, and engineering. Build together, exchange ideas, and form lasting connections with people who share your drive to create.
