Inside a Hong Kong Hackathon [Full Documentary]

From the creator

Let's go inside a hackathon in Hong Kong, where more than 250 developers from over a dozen countries teamed up to turn ideas into working products in just 24 hours. We followed teams as they built everything from Cantonese learning tools and private local AI to lending platforms, recommendation systems, and voice agents, right through the last-minute rush to submit. Then we joined the judging process, watched the finalists pitch their projects, and saw which teams walked away as winners. ❤️ Support for this channel comes from our friends at Scrimba – the coding platform that's reinvented interactive learning: https://scrimba.com/freecodecamp Chapters - 0:00 How Satisfied Are You With What You Built? - 0:35 Welcome to SeaHack Hong Kong - 1:16 Meeting the Builders and Their Projects - 6:10 How the Hackathon Is Judged - 8:00 Hackathon Life in Hong Kong - 8:52 More Teams Show What They’re Building - 11:30 Behind SeaHack and Its Growth - 13:44 AI Projects From Around the Hackathon - 17:43 How the Teams Feel About Their Progress - 20:14 The Final Submission Rush - 24:04 Did They Actually Pull It Off? - 26:58 The Finalists Take the Stage - 34:07 Choosing the Winners - 35:12 Awards and Honorable Mentions - 36:48 Final Thoughts From SeaHack 🎉 Thanks to our Champion and Sponsor supporters: 👾 @omerhattapoglu1158 👾 @goddardtan 👾 @akihayashi6629 👾 @kikilogsin 👾 @anthonycampbell2148 👾 @tobymiller7790 👾 @rajibdassharma497 👾 @CloudVirtualizationEnthusiast 👾 @adilsoncarlosvianacarlos 👾 @martinmacchia1564 👾 @ulisesmoralez4160 👾 @_Oscar_ 👾 @jedi-or-sith2728 👾 @justinhual1290 -- Learn to code for free and get a developer job: https://www.freecodecamp.org Read hundreds of articles on programming: https://freecodecamp.org/news

AI Maker Residence at KOKO

The third AI workshop taught by our legendary teacher, Nick Sarafa. In one of the last events we did an asset manager raised an additional £25M on their fund within a space of 9 months. This is a full-day hands-on training workshop for purposeful co-creation with AI using Claude Code. Imagine having access to hundreds of billions of dollars of computing power and knowing exactly how to make it work for you through the power of super intelligence. One person did.
