Action Space Hackathon 2026

Action Space describes this as Boston's first anti-drone swarm defense hackathon, a hands-on weekend for teams building with Claude, computers and physical hardware. Participants receive instruction in Isaac Lab, PPO optimization and multi-agent systems, then have opportunities to run multiple drones with their policies.\n\nThe event is at Microsoft NERD in Cambridge and has limited hardware capacity, so attendance is application-based and approvals are released on a rolling basis. Food is included and more than $1,000 in prizes is advertised. The official event page confirms October 23 to 24 but does not yet publish daily start or end times. The displayed calendar times are daytime placeholders; confirm the schedule with the hosts.
