ProfBuehlerMIT · x · 2026-09-20
MIT Media Lab is hosting the ScienceClaw Hackathon on October 30–November 1, 2026, focused on building an "internet of agents" for science.
- Teams will connect AI agents, models, simulations, robots, cloud labs, and scientific tools into working systems tackling problems in protein design, robotics, materials, manufacturing, and experimental science.
- The challenge emphasizes tested results, not just ideas: showing how agents can specialize, challenge each other's assumptions, learn from failed experiments, and combine expertise.
- The vision is an internet of agents where one agent's discovery becomes another's starting point and tools and capabilities flow across teams and institutions.
The event is open to anyone bringing expertise, tools, and a problem worth solving.
