About This hackathon
The Birmingham Green Grid Hack invites developers, data scientists, and urban enthusiasts to a high-energy 24-hour sprint focused on transforming our city with artificial intelligence. Participants will form teams to prototype innovative solutions addressing critical local issues like optimizing public transport routes for reduced emissions, developing AI-powered waste sorting systems, or creating smart energy grids for city infrastructure. Mentors from local tech companies and city planning departments will guide teams from concept to presentation, culminating in pitches for a panel of judges. This event aims to foster collaboration and showcase how cutting-edge technology can build a more sustainable and efficient Birmingham for all its residents.
