Prep Workshops &
Community
We don't just run a hackathon — we make sure you're ready for it. Free workshops, real mentors, and a community of 400+ builders to learn alongside.
Join the Slack Community
400+ builders. Workshop announcements, round updates, team matchmaking, and mentor AMAs — all live in Slack. Our WhatsApp group filled up instantly; this is the place to be.
Building Before The Build
We train everyone a full month before the hackathon starts. No prior experience needed.
PCB Design
From schematic to layout. Learn KiCad, understand design rules, and get comfortable making a custom board instead of a breadboard mess.
AI Prototyping
Build faster with AI-assisted workflows. Learn how to use LLMs, Cursor, and code agents so your team ships in hours, not days.
More Coming Soon
We're adding more workshops across hardware, software, and product building every week. Check back or join Slack for announcements.
3D Modeling & CAD
The 3D modeling workshop is scheduled!!
It's this crazy workshop, you'll learn the fundamentals of CAD design and 3D modeling, explore all the software, understand different types of 3D printing filaments, and discover what transforming the world around you means.
We're also gonna show a live 3D printing demonstration using the Bambu Lab A1, where you'll get to see the complete workflow from design to finished print in real time.
