The program

Develop your idea with a mentor. Present it on November 28.

Agent Ship Day pairs selected teams with a mentor for three to four weeks of work on their idea. It ends with a one-day hackathon held in New York City, which can also be attended virtually, where teams present what they built in front of people who know the difference between a prototype and a launch.
