About this hackathon
A policy hackathon by the Hsinchu City Government (theme: AI for the Windy City). The city sets the problems and teams of four use AI to solve them across three themes: smart Hsinchu services, AI smart tourism, and a smart-city policy wish pool. Send a 3–5 page proposal by Oct 30 (Taipei time); about 25 teams reach the two-day final on Nov 21–22, with meals, lodging and shuttles covered. Winning ideas may feed into city plans.
