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 brief - Long blocks of protected build time - Room to test, iterate, and refine your approach - Support and feedback from other builders - Project 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. When: Thursday, September 17, 2026 | 9:30 AM - 8:30 PM PT Where: AWS Builder Loft, 525 Market St, San Francisco, CA 94105
