About
Let's gather for a community-focused media hackathon that combine hands-on building, technical mentorship, and developer networking. Join our interactive "make and showcase" session and collaborate in small groups or work individually to build media-rich applications leveraging Cloudinary for AI image/video transformations, optimized delivery, and automated visual workflows.
Event Structure & Agenda
Kickoff & Prompt Briefing: Welcome participants, introduce the theme/challenge (e.g., building with visual AI, media workflows, or web performance), and share API credentials, docs, and resources.
Brainstorming & Pitch Circle: Attendees share quick project ideas, ask questions, and form teams based on complementary skills or project goals.
Hacking & Mentorship Session: Participants spend dedicated time building their prototypes. Mentors and Cloudinary experts circulate to offer guidance on API integration, troubleshooting, and best practices.
Demos & Showcase: Each team delivers a 2-3 minute live demo highlighting their project, how they handled media optimization or transformations, and what they built.
Wrap-Up & Networking: Celebrate top projects, award Hacktoberfest and Cloudinary swag, and open the floor for informal networking and discussion.
