Community AI Hackathon: Building Agents for Real-World Impact - Open Registration

Community AI Hackathon: Building Agents for Real-World Impact This isn't just another hackathon. It's a one-day innovation sprint where founders, developers, designers, nonprofit leaders, students, and community builders come together to create AI agents that strengthen local communities, support organizations, and solve real-world challenges. Rather than building products for the next viral trend, participants will develop practical AI solutions that empower small businesses, nonprofits, educators, farmers, civic organizations, and local communities. 🌍 What You'll Build Participants will create AI-powered agents across community-focused tracks: 🌱 Agriculture & Food Systems Farmers Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Farmers Markets Food security Urban farming 🏪 Small Business Customer engagement Operations Marketing Grant and funding assistance Business automation 🤝 Nonprofits & Social Impact Volunteer coordination Donor engagement Grant writing Program management Community outreach 🏛️ Civic Engagement Local government services Community participation Public resources Neighborhood initiatives Resident engagement 📢 Advocacy & Activism Campaign organization Coalition building Community education Public awareness Resource distribution 🎓 Education & Workforce Career pathways Youth mentorship Digital literacy Workforce development Skills training ♿ Accessibility & Inclusion Language access Disability services Digital accessibility Resource navigation 🧠 Theme: "Agents That Strengthen Communities" This hackathon focuses on building autonomous AI agents that go beyond answering questions—they help organizations and communities take meaningful action. Participants are encouraged to build agents that can: Automate repetitive tasks for nonprofits and small businesses Connect people with local resources and community services Help organizations improve operations and outreach Support fundraising, sponsorships, and grant discovery Increase civic participation and volunteer engagement Strengthen local food systems and neighborhood networks Expand educational opportunities and workforce development Turn community data into practical, actionable insights Think beyond automation. Build AI that empowers organizations, strengthens local communities, and creates measurable social impact.
