Hey Open Source AI Builders!
I'm thrilled to announce something that could change the trajectory of our next generation of innovators β we're launching a recurring hackathon series every 60 days, specifically designed for the brightest high school students from regional Queensland and around the world!
π― What We're Building:
β’ A global platform where high school talent meets real-world business challenges
β’ Problems sourced directly from our community β your businesses, your pain points, their solutions
β’ 60-day cycles ensuring fresh opportunities and continuous innovation
β’ A pipeline from classroom to career that actually works
πΌ The Game-Changer:
The top 5 students from each hackathon will have the opportunity to gain paid work experience or be directly employed by participating businesses. We're not just talking about certificates and trophies β we're talking about launching careers.
π Why This Matters:
Regional Queensland has incredible young talent, but they often lack access to the same opportunities as their metropolitan counterparts. By opening this globally, we're creating a level playing field where the best ideas win, regardless of location.
π€ How You Can Help:
1. Spread the word β Share this post, tell your networks, reach out to schools
2. Submit real problems β What challenges is your business facing that fresh minds could tackle?
3. Consider mentoring β Guide these future builders
4. Offer opportunities β Could you provide work experience or employment?
This is our chance to bridge the gap between education and industry, between potential and opportunity. Every share, every problem submitted, every connection made could be the catalyst that launches the next generation of AI builders and entrepreneurs.
Let's build the future together, one hackathon at a time!
