About this Event
Get Ready for the OAKLAND HOMEBASE HACKATHON!
Join us for a free, one-day, in-person build event at HiiiWAV for small businesses, nonprofits, activists, and artists in Oakland and surrounding areas. You do not need to be technical. If you have an idea, a problem you want to solve, or something you want to build for your community, you belong here.
In one day, you’ll learn how to build a simple app with no code, work with a team (or join one on-site), and pitch what you build. At the end of the day, teams will demo and present their projects.
The winner of this hackathon is guaranteed a top 10 spot in the Live Concert + Pitch Competition on April 11, where the top three winners will receive a cash investment ranging from $5,000 to $15,000.
This event is hosted by Kaila Love (The AI Homegirl) in collaboration with powerful partners, including HiiiWAV, the music tech incubator hosting the hackathon, and Co-Founders the Musical.
What to expect
- Welcome + quick no-code build intro
- Team formation (come solo or with friends)
- Build sessions with mentor support
- Demo + pitch showcase
- Winner announced (top 10 spot for April 11 Live Concert + Pitch Competition)
Who should attend
Small business owners, nonprofit leaders, community organizers, activists, artists, students, and anyone tech-curious who wants to build something useful without coding.
What to bring
Bring a laptop and charger if you have one. If you do not have a laptop, still come, we will pair you with a team.
