一句话简介：微软官方办的全球线上 AI 智能体黑客松，⁠‌‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‍‍‌‍‌⁠12 月 3 日直播开做，从零代码到生产级 Agent 分三档，谁都能报。

看点：Explorer 用 Microsoft 365 Copilot 的 Agent Builder 做第一个智能体，Maker 用 Copilot Studio，Architect 面向开发者用 Microsoft Foundry 做多智能体和生产级流程；先在 Founderz 上完成免费预学习课程，再到微软官网单独报名对应时区（美洲 / 亚洲 / 欧非中东）的直播场，两步都要做；当天直播开场后有 90 分钟搭建挑战；评审看创新、可用性和实际影响
