HackStreet Boys

Learn AI by building — you'll be the fire. 🔥

The overview

Who this lodge is for

Too technical? Too overwhelming? Not anymore. HackStreet Boys is for students from any faculty — tech background or not — who want to learn AI by actually building things.

Why join

You'll build your own AI project from scratch and walk away with practical tools you can use for your studies, career, and side projects. No lectures. Just building.

What you'll explore

  • API tooling — call LLMs from code: keys, chat history, structured outputs, function calling
  • AI app patterns — RAG, vector databases, multimodal input, automated workflows
  • Prompt engineering & LLM security — reliable outputs and defense against prompt injection
  • Builder's judgment — picking the right model or pattern for the job
