LOOP · UBC eProjects x n8n Buildathon

🔁 LOOP: TWO DAYS. ONE IDEA. BUILD SOMETHING THAT WORKS.

What if you could automate the things you spend hours doing manually? Or build an AI-powered tool without having to write hundreds of lines of code?

LOOP is a two-day AI & automation hackathon hosted by UBC eProjects, in partnership with n8n and Nebius.

Spend a weekend turning an everyday problem into a working solution. Connect apps, experiment with AI, build workflows, and see what you can make with the tools already out there.

Never been to a hackathon? Never coded before? Perfectly fine. We're bringing together developers, designers, business students, and complete beginners. You don't need to arrive with a team, an idea, or any experience with n8n.

🔥 WHAT'S GOING DOWN

🛠️ Hands-on n8n workshop: Learn how to build automations from scratch, even if you've never touched the platform before.

💻 Two days of building: Pick a challenge, team up, and turn an idea into a working prototype using n8n and AI.

🧠 Mentorship throughout: Get feedback, troubleshoot problems, and learn from people with experience in tech, product, and entrepreneurship.

🏆 Prizes up for grabs: Build something worth showing off and compete for prizes across our hackathon tracks.

🎤 Product & AI Panel: Wrap up the weekend with a candid conversation about building useful products, getting them into people's hands, and responsible AI.

🤝 Networking: Meet fellow builders, alumni, and people working across tech and entrepreneurship.

🍕 FREE FOOD: We've got you covered with food, coffee, and snacks throughout the weekend.

👀 WHO IS LOOP FOR?

Coders, non-coders, first-time hackers, experienced builders, and anyone curious about what they can make with AI and automation.

Come with friends or sign up solo. We'll help match individual participants into teams based on your interests.

You don't have to know how to build something yet. That's part of why we're doing this.
