## Description

Meet your hackathon organizers and technical influencer judges, then dive into the Football for Good theme that will drive 3 days of building. The hands-on portion is anything but ordinary! Participants build AI agents using Strands Agents and Amazon Bedrock, then pit them against each other in live agent-on-agent football matches. It's competitive, collaborative, and the perfect warm-up for the hackathon ahead.
