VIBE-ATHON: a free AI weekend in Nelson Join the AI Sandbox at NMIT, Nelson, from 13–15 November 2026 for a free weekend of exploring ideas, solving problems and building with AI. Work in a team, try out AI tools and develop a practical response to a real challenge. Bring friends or colleagues or come along and meet people at the event. Everyone is welcome. Just bring your curiosity and experience. Sixty places available. Register now at aisandbox.org.nz/vibe-athon Got a challenge for our teams? If you’re part of a business, charity or community organisation, tell us about a problem or question you’d like help exploring. It could be a challenge within your organisation, an issue facing our community, or a theoretical question you’d like a fresh team to explore. You don’t need a solution in mind, just something worth exploring and a chance to help shape a practical way forward. To put forward a challenge, contact Jack directly at jack@aisandbox.org.nz with a short description of the challenge and who it affects, or what you’d like teams to explore.
