🤖 LeRobot Hackathon – Last Tickets for This Weekend
Melbourne turns into a mini-robotics lab this Sat–Sun (14–15 June) as we host the local hub for Hugging Face’s LeRobot global build-fest. Fewer than ten seats remain, so snag yours now if you want to tinker with SO-101 arms, RL pipelines, and a €15 k hardware prize pool. 📩 All registered hackers will receive a separate “prep” email tomorrow with gear checklists and venue logistics. Grab your spot
🏕️ Bougie vs Bush? 2-Day Hackathon • 10–11 July
We’re plotting a tiny (10-person) hackathon with two possible vibes:
Champagne-and-face-masks “Bougie Buildathon” or
Great-Outdoors “Hike & Hack”.
Which would you choose? Let us know which you’d prefer here: and join the early-interest list here. The event is totally free, powered by Antler, and they’ll hand-pick tech builders and first-time founders for the final lineup. Get in early—spots will vanish fast.
⚡ Vibe Coding for Business • 18 June @ Stone & Chalk
Sick of the hype and ready for the how-to? Our live panel + demo night dives into naïve vs pro workflows, legacy-code pitfalls, and the best AI-assisted dev tools of 2025. Expect candid war stories, on-the-fly prompt-to-prod demos, and plenty of Q&A. Doors at 5:30 PM, pizzas on us—claim your seat.
🔌 All-Day Coworking • 20 June @ Stone & Chalk
Roll in any time between 9 AM and 6 PM, grab a hot desk, and ship some code alongside fellow MLAI builders. We’ll supply Wi-Fi, whiteboards, coffee, and a midday “show-and-tell” break to swap ideas. Free, casual, productive—just RSVP so we keep enough desk space. Register here
💻 Saturday Coworking • 5 July @ StartSpace
Back by popular demand: our weekend coworking jam at State Library Victoria’s StartSpace. From 10 AM to 4 PM we’ll co-work, demo side projects, and share peer feedback. Perfect if you’re polishing your pitch deck, debugging an ML model, or just want startup-y company. Free to attend—register below and we’ll see you under the dome! Register here
