What could you build if AI moved with you?

Step into the next wave of applied AI with Meta Wearables — where ideas don’t stay on a screen. They move into the field.

Join the AIFS x Meta Wearables AI AgTech Hackathon! Work on a team with fellow students to develop your own app to solve a real-world challenge.

We provide the technology. You bring the ingenuity, creativity and drive to get it done.

This in-person event is sponsored by Meta and hosted by the AI Institute for Next Generation Food Systems (AIFS) at UC Davis from May 15-17, 2026. The challenge is led by Ilias Tagkopoulos, professor of computer science and director of the USDA AI Institute for Next Generation Food Systems (AIFS), Steve Brown, and Samir Townsley with support from the Meta Wearables team.
