This hack, we're headed back to Studio 45 for a hardware focused hack & build weekend in partnership with Claude Community & other partners.
We're also hosting a warm up build day Oct 17 if you want to join early to make a team & get started on a project.
No pre-reqs. All scientists, software, & hardware engineers welcome.
We welcome all skill levels & can support 50 builders.
Teams will be formed on the spot, & will work through custom automation challenges with sample prep, instrument integration, as well as an open track
You must be able to stay through demo on Sunday to participate in the hack. Everyone joining will be expected to demo something by end of the weekend.
Track A: Sample Prep with BioKEA
BioKEA does DNA barcoding, environmental DNA, & long-read genomics from soil, water, or specimen to a verifiable, FAIR-compliant published claim.
They work with open sourced hardware & need help making the sample prep process more robust with a robotic sieving process.
There will also be chances to iterate on other parts of the workcell.
Track B: TBA
We're working with a few different instrument partners & will announce more soon.
Track C: Open build
We'll have extra robotic arms, cameras, & 3d printers for you to build on dexterity challenges or your own problem space.
You can also bring your own hardware.
