"EN EL HACKATHON HABRÁ MENTORES EN ESPAÑOL, NO ES NECESARIO HABLAR INGLÉS"

Let’s meet and code together for a weekend on a #botathon, while learning about bots and machine learning from industry experts from Silicon Valley, food and drinks are on us.

Why bots?

Unless you are living in a cave, you probably have heard a lot of buzz about bots, and chances are that you already have been using one, there are a lot of kind of bots: the cool ones, the bad ones, and like almost one of them: the ones that really suck. We need to change the latter ones!

We believe in a bot scenario where they can perform more than simple tasks such as being an interface to consuming data, and there is where artificial intelligence plays a major role. Our objectives are simple: find a way to connect them and make smart bots that can consume, process and make smart decisions based on information.

Who can attend?

Anyone interested in building bots and who eager to learn about artificial intelligence, don’t worry if you don’t have previous experience, we’ll hosting Bootcamps for beginners and bring expert mentoring for the event.

• Have registered on the Event Page and have the brazelet that will be given 1 week before the event.
