Benefits

The programme begins with a Learning Week from 14 to 18 September 2026, offering practical online workshops designed to help participants move from curiosity about AI to building with AI tools. Sessions will cover AI tools, bots and automations, vibe coding and no-code building, idea development, pitching and public speaking, founder mindset, startup building, networking and community building.

The main hackathon weekend will take place on 19–20 September 2026, when participants will build a real project individually or in teams. Projects may include AI-powered tools, mobile apps, websites, automations, community products, educational tools, creative experiments, social-impact ideas, or startup MVPs.

Participants will have access to mentors and community support, live check-ins, networking, team collaboration, and partner resources during the hackathon. Top projects will be invited to present during an online Demo Day on 25 September 2026. The organisers plan to award prizes to the Top 3 teams, with the prize pool and additional partner-supported rewards to be announced.

Who Can Apply

The hackathon is open to eligible individuals of all genders who are at least 18 years old at the time of registration. While Elevate Women is a women-led initiative focused on advancing women’s participation, leadership and opportunities in technology, the organisers state that eligibility, access, judging and awards are not restricted by sex or gender.

The event is particularly relevant for people interested in AI, startups, digital products and technology creation. Technical or coding experience is not required.

Criteria

The page does not list formal selection or judging criteria. Registration is marked as approval required, meaning requests to join are subject to host approval.

The emphasis is on experimentation, learning, creativity and building a working project, rather than entering with an already advanced technical product.
