What it is
/ 01
Not a course — a real creation challenge
It is a time-boxed creation challenge that starts from a real city problem, is built on teamwork, and aims at delivering a real AI project.
Within 48 hours, students go through
Open: why it isn't a course, and what the work can beThe full note + four product forms
The Liaoye 48-Hour Youth AI Hackathon Challenge is not a lecture-based AI course, nor a coding exercise where everyone fills in the same template.
The final work isn't limited to a website or app — it can be
An agent that completes multi-step tasks
A skill that reliably solves a specific task
An application real users can operate
Application, Agent and Skill combined
The point isn't for everyone to use the same tools and build the same thing — it's to help them build a complete method for creating projects in the AI era.

The review looks at the project — and at every individual. Team rankings come from overall project performance, while each member's real contribution is observed separately: a strong project can't hide a bystander, and an unfinished Demo won't erase the member who owned responsibility and solved the key problem.
