On 9 October 2026, the Department of Computer Science and the General Education Office co-organised an electrifying Agentic AI Hackathon 🤖. Out of 31 competing teams, 12 teams were shortlisted as finalists to explore the frontier of agentic AI.

Guided by hands-on workshops led by the Amazon Web Services team, participants were put to the test.

𝗦𝗗𝗚 𝟯: Good Health and Well-being
𝗦𝗗𝗚 𝟰: Quality Education
𝗦𝗗𝗚 𝟭𝟭: Sustainable Cities and Communities
𝗦𝗗𝗚 𝟭𝟮: Responsible Consumption and Production

From the initial brainstorming spark to the final polished pitches, these talented students transformed abstract concepts into practical digital solutions in just a few short hours! 💡💻
