Spatial Intelligence + Generative 3D Hackathon with Mint, Tripo, World Labs, Convex and Founders Inc.

Spatial Intelligence + Generative 3D Hackathon — Event Plan World Labs × Tripo × mint.gg × Convex.dev · One-day hackathon · San Francisco Overview We're teaming up with World Labs, Tripo, mint.gg, and Convex.dev for a one-day hackathon in San Francisco at the intersection of spatial intelligence and generative 3D. Participants will get hands-on access to some of the best tools for generating 3D content and turning it into functional, interactive experiences: World Labs — large world models for generating immersive worlds Tripo — rapid 3D asset generation for creating game-ready objects mint.gg — agentic creation platform and developer tools for bringing worlds and assets together as interactive, playable experiences Convex.dev — real-time backend infrastructure for powering application data, state, multiplayer systems, and agentic experiences Together, we'll explore what becomes possible when entire worlds, detailed 3D objects, and real-time scenes can be generated from little more than a prompt or an image — and then quickly assembled, programmed, connected, and shared. Tracks Gaming & Interactive Worlds — Playable worlds, games, multiplayer experiences, interactive applications, and real-time 3D scenes Physical AI & Simulation — Robotics, simulation, embodied agents, spatial reasoning, training environments, and digital twins Creative 3D & VFX — Visual effects, virtual production, cinematic experiences, creative tools, real-time graphics, and experimental projects that do not fit neatly into the other tracks Prizes The top two teams in each of the three tracks will each receive: $1k in World Labs credits $1k in Tripo credits $1k in mint.gg credits That’s $3k in total credits per winning team. With two winning teams across each of the three tracks, there will be six prize-winning teams. Convex.dev will also give away Three Convex memberships. One to the top team in each tract. Opening Ceremonies & Presentations Approx. 8:30–10:00 AM — a 90-minute kickoff, including check-in Doors open · Check-in & breakfast 8:30–9:00 AM Attendees check in, grab coffee and breakfast, and receive their platform access and API keys Light networking, with volunteers available to help resolve setup issues Welcome, kickoff & challenge briefing 9:00–9:15 AM Host and MC welcome everyone and introduce the theme and four event sponsors Logistics: schedule at a glance, venue and Wi-Fi information, safety, code of conduct, and how to find mentors throughout the day Opening briefing covering the three tracks, rules, judging criteria, prizes, sponsor giveaway, and what a finished demo should show Sets the shared goal: ship something interactive, playable, simulated, useful, or visually compelling by the close of the day Partner presentations — deep dives with the teams behind the technology 9:15–10:00 AM World Labs — Ian Curtis, Design Large world models: generating immersive, explorable worlds from a prompt or image Tripo — Aiko Dai, Global Marketing, US Rapid 3D asset generation: creating game-ready objects in minutes mint.gg — Alex Carrabre, Co-founder Agentic creation platform and developer tools: assembling worlds and assets into interactive, playable experiences Convex.dev Real-time backend infrastructure: powering application state, data, multiplayer functionality, and agentic experiences Hacking begins at 10:00 AM. The Rest of the Day Morning build block 10:00 AM–1:00 PM Mentors available to help teams get set up, choose their tools, and unblock early technical issues Lunch 1:00–1:45 PM Lunch served Informal progress check-ins with mentors and sponsors Afternoon build block 1:45–6:00 PM Teams continue building and preparing their final demonstrations Mentors remain available for technical and creative support Submissions due 6:00 PM Project demos & judging 6:00–7:00 PM Each team presents its project at the close of the hackathon Judges review submissions across the three tracks Awards & closing 7:00–7:30 PM Winners announced for each track Convex membership giveaway recipients announced Closing remarks and networking wind-down About Founders, Inc.
