Hack for Humanity: Portland, Oregon

Saturday, October 24, 2026, 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM PT The AI Collective Portland presents Hack for Humanity, part of a global civic hackathon running across 120+ chapters in 50+ countries this fall. Spend a Saturday building with Google Gemini to take on meaningful human and community challenges. This event continues the Humans in AI Week conversations from this summer, where communities named the problems that matter most to them. Every project should create impact close to home, with the purpose of benefiting humanity. Local action, global impactWe're gathering here in Portland, to act locally and think globally by building alongside partners and communities around the world. What you make on Saturday in Octber can serve your neighbors and reach a town thousands of miles away. That connection is the heart of this event.
