McGill Data Network

We launched this event with a clear challenge: to see how students would tackle real-world inefficiencies through automation in a high-intensity environment. For an inaugural edition, the technical caliber of the projects developed during this 3.5-hour sprint this Thursday exceeded all expectations.

A special mention to BoundaryAI for their involvement and support throughout the event.

🏆 Congratulations to our winners: “Meet 2 Action”
A standout performance by Michael Lukas, Henry Koll, and Sunav Bajaj. Your solution was technically sharp and highly scalable—especially impressive given the tight timeframe.

🎤 A special thank you to our guest speakers:
