AttraX × TIDE × UID | Bali AI for Impact Mini HackathonBuild AI. Solve Local Challenges. Shape Sustainable Futures.
What if your next one-day project could help real communities in Bali — and put you in a room with AI builders from China, Southeast Asia, and beyond?
As the main build day of the Bali AI Innovation & Youth Builder Pilot, AttraX, TIDE, and United in Diversity (UID) are co-hosting a full-day AI Mini Hackathon for students, developers, founders, digital nomads, local innovators, and community partners.
Teams of 3–5 people will choose a locally relevant challenge, build an early-stage AI-enabled prototype, and pitch it to a panel of judges by the end of the day.
No prior AI experience is required. You do not need to be a coder. Strong teams usually combine technical, design, business, social science, sustainability, and local community perspectives. Just bring curiosity, initiative, and a willingness to build.
