SUMMARY:Build it / Break it / Deploy it — Toronto Hackathon
DESCRIPTION:### Overview\nBuild it / Break it / Deploy it is a Toronto based hackathon organized in partnership with Google DeepMind and InstaLILY AI. The event is centered on orchestrating a coordinated swarm of AI agents that work toward a single objective. Participants will design a system where multiple agents delegate tasks to one another\, report findings\, challenge each other’s conclusions\, and synthesize results into a cohesive solution. The format emphasizes team like collaboration among a heterogeneous group of AI agents\, treated as a “swarm” rather than a single autonomous agent. The kickoff and the final Demo Day are both core milestones.\n\n### When and Where\n- When: September 22\, 2026 through October 2\, 2026\n- Where: Toronto\, Ontario\, Canada with an online option for the kickoff and the intermediate work period\; Demo Day is in person in Toronto.\n- Format: Seven day event window with asynchronous work in between and a live in person Demo Day.\n\n### What you’ll build\nParticipants will craft a coordinated team of AI agents that collectively pursue one objective. You will design agents that can delegate work to others\, report back with findings\, critique each other’s conclusions\, and synthesize results into a single outcome. The goal is to create a system that behaves like a cohesive team rather than a single agent tackling a broad problem. The description on the page emphasizes collaboration\, orchestration\, and evaluation of outputs from a swarm of agents.\n\n### Agenda at a glance\nThe event features a kickoff day to reveal the prompt and assemble the challenge in Toronto with a virtual attendance option. The week of building runs asynchronously\, with a separate submission deadline and a subsequent review phase where engineers assess each submission. The final Demo Day is held in Toronto\, where finalists present their work and winners are announced. Each task is scored\, with emphasis on robustness and the ability to pass unseen tests. Additional agenda elements include a registration deadline and a window for post submission review and finalist invitations.\n\n### Who should attend\nThe page highlights a focus on builders such as students and early career engineers who demonstrate the ability to ship real systems under constraints. The event is designed for individuals who enjoy hands on engineering and competitive yet collaborative problem solving. Participation is solo\, and there is no entry fee to register or compete.\n\n### What can you expect from the experience\nExpect to encounter a structured prompt\, a clear scoring rubric\, and a competitive yet educational environment that values practical implementation over résumés. The event includes in-person experiences in Toronto as well as virtual access to the kickoff and work phase. A fast tracked path to join a founding Toronto team is mentioned as a potential outcome for top performers. The experience is designed to be a real opportunity to showcase building skills and to gain visibility with potential future opportunities.\n\n### FAQs\nCommon questions addressed include attendance modality\, registration process\, and travel expectations. The organizers note that travel sponsorship is not provided and participants are responsible for their own transportation and lodging. The kickoff and Demo Day have distinct in person components\, with the kickoff offering virtual participation and the Demo Day requiring attendance.\n\nhttps://toronto26.instalily.ai?ref=ainave
