Community Building: An AI Hackathon

What could a room full of neighbours and AI tools build in one day?

Our community hackathon. Teams pick a local problem, design a small and responsible AI tool or workflow to help with it, build a prototype, and show everyone what they made. You do not need to code: teams need researchers, designers and storytellers as much as builders, and everyone tests the work. Mentors help all day. The challenge briefs come from problems neighbours brought to the library this fall. Bring your own computer.
