Hackathons

Build the Future of Autonomous AI Agents

Agent Factory Hackathon Series

Our hackathon series transforms engineers into AI agent architects. You'll learn to build Digital Full-Time Equivalents (FTEs) that work 168 hours per week, master spec-driven development, and deploy cloud-native agentic systems — all through hands-on, real-world projects.

Digital FTE Development

Build AI agents that work 24/7 and automate complex workflows at 85-90% cost savings.

Spec-Driven Development

Master building apps through specifications using Claude Code, Agent Skills, and Spec-Kit Plus.

Cloud-Native Mastery

Deploy and scale AI agents using Docker, Kubernetes, Kafka, and Dapr for production-grade systems.

Physical AI & Robotics

Bridge the digital-physical gap with ROS 2, Gazebo simulation, and NVIDIA Isaac.

Real-World Projects

Build production-ready apps including AI tutors, chatbots, and autonomous personal assistants.

Career Opportunities

Top performers may join the Panaversity core team, become startup founders, or teach at PIAIC.
