Hack Day at AWS Builder Loft

Hack Day at AWS Builder Loft One clear problem. One shared direction. A full day to build something real. Join HackerSquad and the [SF] Builders Collective at AWS Builder Loft in San Francisco for a focused, full-day AI Hack Day. This is a builder-first event designed around deep work, thoughtful experimentation, and steady progress. Instead of juggling a long list of prompts or tracks, everyone will work from one shared challenge. The specific building objective will be revealed at the event, giving the room a common starting point while leaving plenty of space for different technical approaches and creative solutions. Bring a laptop, your preferred AI tools, and a willingness to turn an idea into a working prototype by the end of the day. What to Expect A focused kickoff and shared challenge briefLong blocks of protected build timeRoom to test, iterate, and refine your approachSupport and feedback from other buildersProject demos at the end of the day Who Should Apply This event is for engineers, founders, designers, product builders, students, and technical operators who enjoy hands-on experimentation and want to spend a day making tangible progress. You do not need to arrive with a team or a finished idea. You should come ready to build, collaborate, and share what you learned. Admission is free and approval-based because space at AWS Builder Loft is limited.
