ProfBuehlerMIT · x · 2026-09-20
MIT's LAMM lab is organizing the ScienceClaw Hackathon at the MIT Media Lab, themed around building an "internet of agents for science" — AI as a real-world collaborator that designs materials, creates instruments and runs experiments while revising its reasoning on the fly.
Teams will wire up AI agents, models, simulations, robots, cloud labs and scientific tools into working systems tackling problems in protein design, robotics and more.
