About Us
We're a community bringing together students, early-career developers, and founders under 35 working with AI across Aotearoa New Zealand. Our mission is to help young Kiwis connect, learn, and build together in the AI space.
Join a community of young Kiwis who are actively building with AI. Share projects, get feedback, and find collaborators who share your vision.
Monthly workshops, tool demos, and hands-on sessions. Learn from others building real AI projects, not just theory.
Access NZ AI job postings, internships, and freelance gigs. Connect with local companies and founders looking for talent.
