AI for Education Hackathon @Stanford

🛑 The future of education will be built with AI. What if AI could truly transform how we learn? What would it take to build tools that not only teach but adapt, inspire, and scale across millions of students? And how can you be part of shaping that future? Education is one of the largest industries AI has yet to transform. In just two years, AI has evolved from answering questions to teaching, adapting, grading, and personalizing learning at a level that was previously impossible. But the next generation of education products won't win because they have the smartest model. They'll win because they improve learning outcomes, integrate into real classrooms, earn the trust of educators, and scale across millions of learners. Together with TAL Education Group—one of the world's largest education technology companies—we're bringing together founders, engineers, researchers, and educators to build the next generation of AI-powered learning experiences. Whether you're building AI tutors, teacher copilots, assessment systems, or entirely new ways for people to learn, this hackathon is where you'll build, demo, and launch. The future competition in AI education is not about model capability. It's about pedagogy, deployment, and trust. 🛠️ Join our Discord for credits, team formation, and support: https://discord.gg/cswGFwFumn. 1-2 Builders per team Mandatory Cloud/AI Partner Integration Schedule 📅 9:00 AM Check-in & Breakfast 10:00 - 10:30 AM Opening Remarks and workshops from EvermindButterbase 10:45 - 11:20 AM How AI Reinvented Education System Panels Dr. Joy Chen, Senior Advisor, Stanford Accelerator for LearningDaniel Rezac, M.Ed., Head of Educator at Epic for KidsGeorge Wang, General Manager at ClassDojoHeidi Perry, SVP at HMH Labs 11:20 AM Build 11:30 AM Lunch 1:00 PM Build 5:00 PM Demo Showcase 6:30 PM 🏆 Awards & Closing Focus Tracks 🧠 Autonomous Learning Agents Build fully agentic systems that don’t just respond—but plan, adapt, and guide learners over time. Think persistent AI mentors that track progress, design curricula, generate challenges, and evolve alongside the student. 🏫 Intelligent Classroom Systems Design multi-agent environments that orchestrate the entire classroom experience—coordinating lesson flow, monitoring engagement, adapting in real time, and interacting with both students and educators as an active participant. 🧪 Adaptive Evaluation Engines Reimagine assessment as a dynamic, continuous process. Build agents that conduct conversations, simulate real-world scenarios, probe understanding, and generate personalized evaluations that go beyond static tests. 🌍 Lifelong Learning Agents Create AI systems that follow users across their entire learning journey—from school to career—helping them acquire skills, navigate opportunities, prepare for transitions, and continuously evolve in a changing world. 🚀 Open Frontier Push the boundaries of what learning could look like with agent-native systems. Build something unexpected—multi-agent simulations, immersive learning worlds, or entirely new paradigms for knowledge acquisition. Prizes and Investment 🏫 Educational resources and customer pipelines: TAL Education Group offers outstanding teams introductions to TAL's product and partnerships team for follow-up evaluation and potential pilot pathways. Founded in 2003, TAL Education Group is one of the world's largest education technology companies, having served over 10 million students through more than 1,000 learning centers across 110 cities, and now building the next generation of AI-powered learning products. 💰 2M Investment: Beta Fund's flagship founder program for the next generation of agent-native companies. The most exceptional teams will be invited to interview for the Fellowship and may receive an immediate $200,000 pre-seed investment from Beta Fund, with up to $2 million in total funding reserved through the seed stage. 💰Butterbase Special Prize: Perk: $20 credits for every attendee.Butterbase Award: $200 in Butterbase credits for Best Use of Butterbase ​📤 Submission All projects must be submitted through Butterbase MCP for judging. Please take 5 minutes to get set up so you're ready to build, not configure, on event day. 🛠 Setup & Submission: 🎬 Butterbase Setup Instruction🎬 Butterbase Build + Deploy🎬 Submission Instruction Cohosts: TAL Education Group provides education domain mentors, a classroom adoption and procurement talk, judge participation, sample datasets or content libraries where possible, and potential pilot pathways for outstanding teams. EverMind builds EverOS, the open-source memory layer for AI agents — the piece that lets an agent remember who it's working with and get better the more it's used. It's a natural fit for education, where learning compounds over time and the best support grows with the learner. Find our team on-site all day with EverOS credits, a quickstart, and engineers ready to help you build. ASES is Stanford's premier entrepreneurship society, founded in 1989 to connect student entrepreneurs around the world. Through programs like Bootcamp, VC3, Summit, Breakthrough, and Launchpad, ASES gives students hands-on exposure to entrepreneurship, design, and venture capital, backed by a network of 800+ alumni and partnerships with 20+ top VC firms. The community challenges its members to think beyond Silicon Valley and build companies that solve global problems. Nebius Builder Program: $50 Nebius AI Cloud credit, $50 Nebius Token Factory credit, $25 Tavily credit, Nebius Academy certification, Office hours with Nebius engineers, Builder community access Butterbase is the backend for apps you build with AI. Code with your favorite AI assistant, tell it to use Butterbase, and it handles the rest — database, auth, file storage, serverless functions, API endpoints, and deployment. Zero configuration required. You keep shipping your product, and the backend forms itself.
