We cordially invite you to the Eco-AI Hackathon: Live Data Visuals & Interactive Ecological Art, supported by GDG Hong Kong, Digital Common(s), Gerry Li Studio, and Nexamind AI!

Held as part of the featured "Rootelligence" exhibition at the Jockey Club Museum of Climate Change (Aug 29 – Oct 31, 2026), this two-day hackathon brings together developers, designers, and creative technologists to bridge artificial intelligence, real-time data visualization, and ecological art. Participants will explore how AI can reimagine nature through non-human perspectives, deploy responsible AI using rapid "vibe coding" practices, and evaluate the environmental impact and computational footprint of modern AI models. Top prototypes will earn the opportunity to showcase their work live at the museum!

Hackathon Tracks & Highlights

Tracks

  • Track A: University Students (Aged 18–25)

  • Track B: Open Track (Aged 26–35)

Key Focus Areas & Takeaways

  • Reimagine Nature: Translate complex, real-time ecological datasets into creative visuals through non-human perspectives.

  • Responsible AI & Vibe Coding: Harness rapid AI-assisted development responsibly to turn concepts into interactive prototypes.
