DESCRIPTION:Join the IEEE Southern Alberta Section Young Professionals for 
 a 48-hour hackathon focused on developing Autonomous AI Agents to solve cr
 itical "hard science" bottlenecks across modern industrial sectors. Design
 ed to move beyond basic productivity tools and simple chat interfaces\, te
 ams of 2 to 5 members will build advanced agent frameworks capable of reas
 oning through complex physical\, mathematical\, and engineering challenges
 .\n\nWe have reached capacity\, but we are actively accepting people case 
 by case basis.\n\nPlease click here to join the waitlist: [https://forms.g
