Agentic AI Hackathon: GRAIL x UMN Data Science MS Program
Saturday, Oct. 3, 2026, 11 a.m. through Saturday, Oct. 3, 2026, 4 p.m.
Student Hackathon with Prizes + Free Pizza and soda!
Join students from across campus for a beginner-friendly hackathon exploring AI agents on OpenClaw - a revolutionary open-source platform for building, running, and orchestrating AI agents that can reason through problems, use tools, and complete multi-step tasks, all using natural language! We will show you how to build and run your own agents on a cutting-edge AI platform called GRAIL.
The event will also feature a panel on AI agents, and you'll have a chance to show off your projects on our social media platforms! No prior experience needed — just bring your laptop, learn by building, and meet other students.
Students can compete for prizes! Faculty and staff are welcome, but not eligible for prizes. Pizza and soda included with participation.
Limited spots are available! RSVP today
