Open Court x AI Tinkerers Summer Mini Hackathon (with Tom Blomfield)
This July, LocalGlobe’s monthly meetup Open Court and the AI Tinkerers community are coming together to host an epic summer mini hackathon.
With credits from OpenAI, ElevenLabs and Lovable, this hackathon will also be a chance to get to know Tom Blomfield, Group Partner at YC and former CEO of Monzo.
Of course, there will be plenty of summer-themed food & drinks and fun prizes for the best hacks that people come up with. Feel free to wear your best summer outfit / Hawaiian shirt.
This hackathon is for builders, whether you’re a founder, aspiring founder, or engineer. We’re going to be testing how much faster AI can help people build, so it’s a mini hackathon: what can you achieve in just 2.5 hours?
