Agentic AI HackathonIn Build

The Agentic AI Hackathon is a hands-on, two-day experience for building enterprise-grade AI applications with Microsoft Foundry, Azure OpenAI, the Microsoft Agent Framework, GitHub, and Visual Studio Code. Participants progress from Foundry foundations - deploying, consuming, and generating with GPT and image models - to a Foundry IQ knowledge agent, multi-tool agents with MCP and AI guardrails, and a multimodal RAG solution, gaining practical skills in model deployment, RAG, knowledge grounding, and multi-agent orchestration.
