TUM.ai × BKW Engineering Hackathon
📅 October 18–19, 2025 | 📍 MARK München, Landsberger Str. 344, 80687 Munich, Germany

How can AI transform the way we design, build, and work?
Over 24 hours, 40 selected participants will team up with industry experts from BKW Engineering to tackle real challenges from the engineering and construction world — from smarter planning workflows and automation tools to practical generative AI applications.

This hackathon is about practical, deployable prototypes — not science fiction. You’ll work with real-world data, tools, and mentorship from seasoned professionals to design solutions with immediate industry impact.

  • 🧠 Project Description: A short summary explaining what you built, how it works, and the challenge it addresses.
  • 📊 Pitch Deck: A concise slide deck outlining the problem, solution, technical approach, and impact.

  • 🎥 Optional Demo Video: A brief demo or explainer video (recommended but not required).
