​Bangkok Bytes brings together coders, designers, and builders of all skill levels for a one-day hackathon tackling real challenges in Southeast Asia's food systems. Working from 15+ challenge briefs sourced from local food companies, advocacy organizations, and funders, teams will build open-source AI prototypes across six themes:

​🗑️ Food Waste Reduction
🌱 Protein Transition
💰 Policy & Funding
🔍 Food Systems Transparency
🐾 Animal Welfare
🧠 Consumer Behavioural Nudges

​Whether you're a seasoned engineer or have never written a line of code there's a place for you on a team. No technical background required to contribute. ✨

​Format
In-person hybrid: build alongside 30–40 people in Bangkok, with a similar number joining remotely. Teams start prepping the day before (Friday), then build, iterate, and present live on Saturday.

​What to expect
✅ 15+ real-world challenge briefs across 6 food-system themes
✅ Coders, designers & builders all skill levels welcome
✅ In-person in Bangkok, open to remote builders too
✅ Live final presentations to close out the day
