AI x Web3 Hackathon: Build a Working Prototype in One Afternoon
About this event
AI has changed who gets to build. Come find out what that means in practice.
On Tuesday 14 April, Applied Blockchain is running a hands-on AI hackathon at Level39, Canary Wharf. Use the latest AI coding tools to build something real in a single afternoon, solo or with a team. No coding experience needed, just curiosity.
Judged by industry leaders:
- Tom Hulse, AI Lead, Shell Trading and Supply
