GitHub & Microsoft Research Present: Builders Hack Day Seattle

*** To participate, you must sign up at: https://lu.ma/github-hackday-09-08-2025 and https://lu.ma/github-demonight-09-09-25

​This isn't just another hackathon - you'll receive free access to GitHub's latest Copilot development tools, plus priority technical support from GitHub Developer Advocate team during the hackathon. You'll also have direct pitch and demo opportunities with PNW VCs and technical leaders from GitHub and Microsoft.

​As part of Microsoft Research's study on AI-accelerated startup development, teams are randomly assigned to one of two advanced Copilot feature configurations to help us understand how different AI approaches impact development speed, creativity, and outcomes. See below for more details.
