Event Description

Hacktoberfest Hack Day Lahore x Fluxxion

Join us for a one-day open-source AI hack day in Lahore! Hacktoberfest is a global celebration of open source, run by Major League Hacking (MLH) and DEV in partnership with DigitalOcean. This year's theme is open-source artificial intelligence, and this event is officially approved by MLH.

What to expect

  • Keynote and workshop on building with open-source AI tools and open-weight models
  • Mini hackathon: team up, build something with open-source AI and make your contributions count
  • Mentors on the floor to help you get unstuck
  • Demos and judging to show what you built
  • Community: meet fellow builders, students and future founders in Lahore

Who can join

Students, developers, designers and curious beginners. You don't need prior open-source experience, just bring a laptop and the will to build.
