About NandaHack

NandaHack is an agentic AI hackathon by HCLTech and the MIT Media Lab, part of Project NANDA. Join fully online from anywhere. You never have to be in person. There are two phases: first warm up on NANDA Town, then build a service an AI agent can use on its own.

Please go to nandahack.media.mit.edu to get started.
