​Join us for a one-of-a-kind event where learning, building, and impact come together. Take the opportunity to learn AI agent building and help local NGOs become more efficient in their operations. 2025 will be the year of AI agents, and this event is your chance to master how to create them. We’ll provide workshops, mentorship, and opportunities for post-event collaboration. Participants will work with the goal of helping local NGOs become more impactful. A non-governmental organization (NGO) is an independent, nonprofit organization that operates outside government control. NGOs often focus on humanitarian or social issues. Many NGOs face limited access to modern technology, volunteering shortages, and communication inefficiencies, and this hackathon is an opportunity to explore how AI can address these challenges. Representatives from the NGOs will be onsite to share their day-to-day issues, provide datasets, highlight pain points, and offer feedback. It’s a fantastic way to contribute to meaningful solutions while gaining hands-on experience. Register now!
