Join Give(a)Go and The Mill in Drogheda for a one-day hackathon on sustainability problems in energy, waste, food, transport and climate. Pick a problem you care about, build something that works with AI and tech, and demo it to the room at 4:15pm.
Give(a)Go is a community of builders, hackers and tinkerers from Dublin, and the creators of Dublin AI Week.
What to expect
Have fun and learn how to build with AI
Meet like-minded people, and maybe a co-founder
Hear about grants and funding for sustainability and community projects
Leave with a tested idea and a cool demo
Who it's for
Founders, developers, designers, students and anyone who cares about climate. You don't need a business idea, coding experience or sustainability know-how.
Come solo or bring a team of up to 4. If you're on your own, you can find teammates in the morning.
Project ideas
A few examples to get you thinking. We expect you to come up with your own creative ideas.
An agent that reads a café's supplier invoices and works out its real carbon footprint per coffee
A computer-vision model that spots contamination in recycling bins from a phone photo
A Boyne river digital twin that predicts flooding from sensor and weather data
An AI auditor that checks companies' green claims against their actual reports

Join the community

P.S. The theme is a rough guide. If there's something else you really want to build, go for it. Building with AI and meeting good people is the point. Bring your laptop.
