AI Databricks Hackathon NYC

AI Hackathon at Queens College
Sept 18 to 20 · $20

Spend a weekend building with AI on Databricks, guided by the engineers who work on the platform itself. Over three days at Queens College, you'll form a small team, take on a live challenge, and leave with a finished project, a professional network, and a real Databricks credential. No experience required, just come curious!

What your $20 includes:

💻 Build with AI on Databricks with a team.

🎓 The Academy Accreditation Corner - earn a real Databricks accreditation alongside others, and add it to your LinkedIn by Sunday night.

🤝 The WAGMI-Connect networking corner - dedicated time with working tech professionals, so you leave with connections as well as a project.

📸 A professional headshot, included in your ticket. Plus a goodie bag, Databricks credits to build with (on top of the free edition), and prizes for the top teams.

The weekend
