## Resource

Linn Bieske, Co-Lead of the AI & Technology Track at the MIT Club of Northern California (CNC), AI Product Manager, and Co-Founder of Hack-Nation, joins Haley Berkoe on 21 in 21. They discuss the upcoming Hack-Nation event on April 25 and Spiral’s sponsored challenge exploring what becomes possible when AI agents can earn using the Lightning Network. Linn also shares her perspective on what motivates today’s AI builders, how to design experiences that lead to something more lasting than a 24-hour sprint, and why community and collaboration matter so much. Apply by April 19 to join the upcoming hackathon, or follow along for the next one. https://hack-nation.ai/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/linn-bieske-189b9b138/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/hack-nation/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/haleyberkoe/ https://spiral.xyz/
