Hacktoberfest 2026
Kunigal-Tumkur Rd, Maralur, Saraswathipuram uGSOT Block Tumakur, Karnataka 572105 India
Event Description
Join us for a full day of building with open-source AI. This hands-on Hack Day is designed to welcome builders of every skill level, whether you're writing your first lines of code or you've been at this for a while, you'll leave with a real project you built yourself.
You'll get starter templates, hands-on mentor support throughout, and a curated set of problem statements to choose from (or bring your own idea). Form a team, build something, and demo it to the room by the end of the day.
All you need to bring is your laptop, a charger, and curiosity, everything else, we've got covered.
