Harnessing Artificial Intelligence to Empower Opportunities for Youth in the Negev
Entrepreneurs, educators, learners, and change-makers are coming together to tackle one of the most urgent challenges of our time—creating meaningful pathways for social mobility for young people in the Negev—through education.
Join us for an intensive, high-energy hackathon, where creativity meets purpose! Together, we will
transform gaps and opportunities into bold, AI-driven solutions that can uplift, inspire, and open new doors for the youth of the Negev.
Because when innovation meets determination, the future changes.
This is not just another tech hackathon—it’s a real opportunity, with a unique methodology, to work on pressing social challenges.
Hackathon participants will take on critical challenges currently faced by: local authorities and municipalities, community centers and youth organizations, educational and higher education institutions, employers and local industries, health organizations, community services, and the IDF.
Schedule:
October 26, 9:00 → October 27, 15:30
The hackathon will be held at the MindCET Campus, Yeruham.
Shuttles are available: Be’er Sheva ↔ Yeruham.
*Participation requires a symbolic fee.
