Join us for a full day of building with open-source AI. This Hacktoberfest 2026 Hack Day brings students, developers, and open-source enthusiasts together to explore open-weight models, open-source tools, and hands-on hacking.
Whether you're writing your first line of code or you're an experienced developer, there's a place for you here. No prior AI experience needed.
Your laptop, charger, and a GitHub account. Bring your curiosity too, you don't need to be an AI expert to take part.
Come build, learn, and celebrate open source with us. Happy hacking!
