About

Hacktoberfest Hack Day Chittagong x DevChangeMakers Community is a free, one-day, in-person mini-hackathon at IIUC where students and developers learn and build with open-source AI. What you’ll do

Join a short kickoff workshop on open-source AI tools and open-weight models: what they are, how licences work, and how to run one.
Form a team (or work solo) and build a small project during the event, such as an agent skill, an app using an open-weight language model, or an improvement to an open-source model harness.
Publish your work in a public GitHub repository with an open-source licence, then demo it to the room.
Compete in the official Hacktoberfest prize challenges. Winners receive DEV badges.
Who it’s for Beginners are very welcome mentors will help you set up and get unstuck. No prior AI or hackathon experience needed. What to bring A laptop and charger, a GitHub account, and curiosity. Setup instructions will be shared before the event. Good to know

    Best Use of Gemma 4

    It’s time to see how much you can build with a lightweight, open model. Gemma 4 packs multimodal intelligence into an open-weights model that you can access through the Gemini API. So, what can Gemma 4 bring to your project?

    • Multimodal Experience: Work with text and images to create an assistant that understands more of what users share.
    • Focused AI Tools: Build a focused AI tool for learning, creativity, productivity, or your community.
    • Rapid Prototyping: Experiment with an open model while using the Gemini API to move quickly from an idea to a working prototype.

    Bring your idea to life… what will you build with Gemma 4 today?
