SUMMARY:NVIDIA Spark Hack: Seattle
DESCRIPTION:NVIDIA brings its Spark Hack Series to Seattle for a weekend hackathon built around vision AI\, agentic workflows and open models running on local high-performance compute. Every team gets an Acer Veriton GN100\, powered by NVIDIA’s GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip\, to use for the duration. \nSeattle pre-seed firm Ascend is co-hosting. \nTeams choose one of three tracks: \n\nSee — AI that understands the physical world\, using NVIDIA’s Video Search and Summarization tooling to build perception-first applications\nDo — autonomous systems that plan and act\, with multi-step reasoning\, tool use and long-running agentic workflows\nSpark — no constraints on modality or approach\n\nTeams can use any public data; organizers point to the City of Seattle open data portal as a starting point. Prizes include an Acer Veriton GN100\, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080\, cloud credits and investor meetings. \nCapped at 35 teams of three to five people.
