Ready to build your AI computer?
Weโre excited to visit 6 campuses this spring to host a hackathon series.
With support from Ara (YC Y26), this one-day hackathon brings together students from all backgrounds to experiment, build, and imagine new possibilities with AI.
This is your chance not just to learn about AI, but to actively shape how it can be used in creative and meaningful ways.
One day. One challenge. Build your own AI personal computer or assistant.
No fluff. No spectators. Just builders.
๐ง CS students โ come build๐ Non-technical โ come get impressed by AI๐ Founders and researchers โ come show your creativity
No experience needed. Just curiosity.

Come build with us. ๐
