Open Scientific Intelligence Hackathon (NYC Hub)

Fulcrum Science is excited to host the NYC hub for the fourth annual Open Scientific Intelligence Hackathon! Join scientists, students, and engineers for two days of building AI tools for scientific problems in materials science, chemistry, physics, mathematics, and more. You'll team up, scope a problem, and leave with a working demo. What You Might Build Teams in past years have applied AI models and agents to solve problems like these: Turn results from papers into queryable databases Run simulations using natural language Design and validate new molecules and materials Interpret instrument data Build better lab tooling and interfaces Benchmark existing models/agents on science research Who Should Come Scientists – have you ever felt frustrated repeating certain manual tasks over and over or wondered how AI could accelerate your work? Engineers – have you ever wondered how you can use your expertise to help scientists and researchers? Bring your perspectives! In-Person Hub: Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons Day 1:9am: Space opens, breakfast available 9:30am: Brief Welcome from Fulcrum Science Talk by Delia McGrath of Radical AI 10am: Hacking begins!
