Build with AI Hackathon is a dynamic, hands-on event organized by IE GDG On Campus that introduces students to the exciting world of artificial intelligence and decision-making algorithms. Over a 1.5-week period, teams of 3 to 5 members will work together to build intelligent agents using reinforcement learning techniques. This immersive experience is designed for anyone—from complete beginners to those with some coding experience—and offers a collaborative and competitive environment where you can learn, innovate, and grow. 🤖

One of the highlights of the event is the well-structured schedule that ensures a smooth progression from initial learning to the final competition. Here’s a breakdown of the timeline:

• March 25

 - 5:30 pm: Welcome ceremony featuring a challenge presentation and a networking session to help you form your team.

 - 6:30 pm: An initial workshop to guide you through building your first agent.

• March 26 to 28

 - 6:00 pm each day: Daily workshops that dive deeper into reinforcement learning fundamentals and strategic planning. These sessions will equip you with the skills needed to navigate a dynamic game space filled with obstacles and refine your approach in real time.

• April 8

 - 6:00 pm: Competition finale featuring a best-of-three tournament where each team’s intelligent agent competes head-to-head. This session will conclude with a closing ceremony and awards presentation, celebrating everyone's hard work and achievements. 📅

Throughout the event, you’ll have access to a custom training environment, comprehensive Jupyter notebooks on reinforcement learning fundamentals, and starter code to kickstart your project. Expert sessions led by IE University faculty and industry professionals from Google will provide valuable insights and guidance, helping you overcome challenges and maximize your learning. 🎙️

We are proud to collaborate with organizations such as the IE Sci-Tech Department, IE University GDG On Campus, IE University Tech Clubs, and GDG Madrid. To further support your projects, teams will receive GCP credits for CPU-based training and GPU-powered game rendering, ensuring you have the necessary resources to bring your ideas to life. The closing ceremony is even proposed to be held at the Google facility in Madrid, adding an exciting venue element to the event. 🤝

Join us at Build with AI Hackathon and embark on an engaging journey into the world of AI—where every moment is an opportunity to learn, collaborate, and innovate. We look forward to seeing you there! 🌟
