Claude Builders Hackathon is a one-day sprint at McGill where you build real AI products with Claude — Code, API, or both.

The theme is revealed on the morning of April 4th. Solo or team up to three. Free to enter. Open to all universities.

Build something a real person would use. You have a 6-hour build window.

01

Claude Code

Agentic coding in your terminal. Build entire features with natural language — Claude writes, runs, and iterates on code for you.

02

Claude API

Direct model access via anthropic SDK. Stream completions, tool use, vision — build any AI-powered product from scratch.

$2,000+ in prizes
Details announced soon. Prizes include Claude API credits + merch + cash
