CMU Claude Builder Club Hackathon

​CMU Claude Builder Club x CMUAI Hackathon: “Build for CMU in an Hour”

​Join us for an intense, creativity packed one-hour hackathon hosted by the CMU Claude Builder Club and CMUAI, proudly sponsored by Anthropic!

​The challenge: create a CMU-related productivity app or tool that benefits the Carnegie Mellon community whether that’s streamlining campus life, improving collaboration, or making student routines smarter.

​The twist: You’ll only have one hour of coding time, so bring your fastest ideas and your sharpest teamwork. Every project must integrate Claude, Anthropic’s powerful AI assistant, in a meaningful way.

​🍕 Perks: Free pizza and refreshments for all participants.

​🏆 Prizes:

​• $1,500 in Claude credits

​• $100 Amazon Gift Card for the winning team

​Come code, connect, and push the limits of innovation: CMU-style.
