Hacktoberfest Hack Day Isle of Man x Code Club
About
Hacktoberfest is all about empowering people to build open-source software together. This year, Hacktoberfest is focused on high-value, meaningful learning: giving everyone the tools and knowledge to experiment and build with open artificial intelligence.
We wanted to bring that to the Isle of Man, with a uniquely Manx twist to it. Welcome to the Hop tu Naa Hack Day at Code Club! Let’s merge some open-source AI with scary Hop tu Naa themed projects to celebrate the season whilst learning something new.
Happy hacking!

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?
