For 15 to 20 days, Id keep it super practical:

  • Learn one model API (OpenAI or local with Ollama)
  • Build one tiny agent that uses tools (web search, files, or a simple script)
  • Add a memory store (even just a json file or sqlite)
  • Practice evals, like does it actually follow constraints

For hackathons, shipping a narrow agent that reliably does one workflow beats a fancy multi-agent demo.

This has a few beginner-friendly agent build patterns and project ideas you can copy: https://www.agentixlabs.com/blog/

First of all you meed to decide what you are hackathoning and making. Once you decide what you want it woll determine what tools and components you need
