Howdy, Friends!
From email providers to spacecrafts -- everything around us is being made smarter with the use of Artificial Intelligence. This weekend, build hacks that can think and take decisions even better than humans!
First time hacking with AI? Get started by watching tutorials from Global Hack Week: AI/ML.
Whether you build something on the theme or not, focus on having fun. While we'd love to have you build something on the theme, our themes are only here for inspiration. Please build whatever you'd like!
Happy Hacking!

To build on Midnight, all you need is familiarity with TypeScript or a similar JavaScript based library. The service is free to use and their developer documentation has all the information you need to get started. Build a DApp using Midnight this weekend for a chance to win wireless headphones for you and each of your team mates!
