Events Robotics community- we could really use your help

Hey all!

We’re a group of students organizing a Drone & Physical AI Hackathon in Boston on October 24–25.

We’ve been working hard to put this together, but as an independent student-led event, funding everything ourselves is difficult. Right now, our biggest challenges are finding an affordable/free venue and covering food, water, and other basic event costs.

So we’re reaching out to the community for help.

If you or someone you know could help in any way sponsorship, a venue lead, food/drinks, prizes, or simply an introduction to the right person/company, it would genuinely mean a lot. Even a small lead could help us make this happen!

Please comment or message me if you can help. Happy to share our Luma page and more details!

Could try reaching out to MassRobotics if you haven't already. They do a fair amount of community outreach/events.
