Claude Builder Club x ACT Rice Hackathon

About the challenge

The Anthropic Speedrun Hackathon is a 2.5-hour sprint where teams use AI to tackle real business problems. Hosted by Claude Builder Club & ACT Rice, this event brings together Rice students from all backgrounds to design fast, focused, and functional solutions that show how Anthropic’s technology can drive business innovation.

You’ll brainstorm, prototype, and pitch your idea — all in one focused afternoon.

Get started

• Form a team (up to 4 people)

• Pick a business problem you want to solve — from customer engagement to internal efficiency.

• Use Anthropic’s AI tools to design or build your solution.
