2025 is the year of AI agents! But what exactly is an agent, and how can you build one? Whether you’re a seasoned developer or just starting out, this free three-week virtual hackathon is your chance to dive deep into AI agent development.

Throughout the month of April, join us for a series of live-streamed sessions on the Microsoft Reactor YouTube channel covering the latest in AI agent development. Over twenty streams will be focused on building AI agents with Python, using popular frameworks like Semantic Kernel, Autogen, and Langchain, as well as the new Azure AI Agent Service.

Once you’ve learned the basics, you can put your skills to the test by building your own AI agent and submitting it for a chance to win amazing prizes. 💸

The hackathon welcomes all developers, allowing you to participate individually or collaborate in teams of up to four members. You can also use any programming language or framework you like, but since you’re reading this blog, we hope you’ll consider using Python! 🐍

Register now! Afterwards, browse through the live stream schedule below and register for the sessions you’re interested in.
