About the Event

This Saturday, Think Technologies is inviting creators to join us at the OpenAI Hackathon for a special creator competition focused on storytelling, community, AI, and innovation.

Creators will attend the hackathon, capture the experience, and create an Instagram Reel that showcases the energy of the event. Whether you focus on the builders, the ideas, the technology, the community, or the final projects, we want to see the hackathon through your lens.

The creator whose video receives the most engagement over the course of one week will win.
