about this room

A one-day hackathon for consumer AI: build something ordinary people would open twice, from scratch, in a day. Encode Club sets the bar at the person next to you on the Tube, not other developers.

Doors, breakfast and team forming at 10:00, kick-off at 10:30, hacking from 11:00 with lunch at 13:00. Submissions close at 16:30, live demos at 17:00, then judging, winners and drinks until 19:00. Teams of up to four, or solo. Anything consumer counts: social, voice, creativity, learning, shopping, games, travel, everyday life. Judged on how much a real person would want it, not the stack. Prizes are still to be announced.

Free, with food and drinks, at Encode Hub, 41 Pitfield Street, N1. Bring a laptop and charger. Every registration is reviewed, so apply early.

why go

a Sunday spent shipping with a clear brief and a deadline that forces scope. Best for developers, designers and product people who build fast; beginners are fine if they can finish something.
