Gemini Student Build - Portland
Hack Days
5000 N Willamette Blvd Shiley Hall, Room 301 Portland, OR 97203 United States
Event Description
This isn't your average hackathon. No pressure, no $10k prize — just an afternoon building with Gemini alongside other AI-forward students here in Portland. What better time to build than summer?
The format is simple. Show up with an idea or find one once you're there, dig in for a few focused hours, and build solo or in a team. It's not a competition and there's nothing to win. The point is the building itself, and the crowd you get to do it with.
Wrap up by sharing what you made if you want to — or just close the laptop and socialize. Beginner or ten projects deep, you'll fit right in.
Bring a laptop and anything you like to build with. Google swag, food, drink, and good company are on us.
This is an official AI Collective event, hosted in collaboration with Major League Hacking and Google Gemini.
Please be advised: Unfortunately, space is very limited at these community events and we can not always accept everyone we would like to. If you are not accepted to this event, please keep applying! We appreciate your application tremendously and we are looking forward to seeing you at a future event very soon!
