Event Description

Ready to build? The IBM Bob-athon is a hackathon where you can use any tech stack you want, with one twist: you must use IBM Bob as your agentic coding assistant. Form a team, get briefed on the challenge, hack away, then demo your project to a panel of IBM judges! Come participate for an evening of building, prizes, and food!

This event is sponsored by IBM, and co-hosted by the AI Collective @ UC Davis as part of the Hack for Humanity initiative, as well as Major League Hacking, as part of the Hacktoberfest 2026 initiative.

Happy hacking!
