​“Innovate. Elevate. Take Flight.”

​Hosted by Navi AI × GDG San Francisco × GDG Fremont
Location: Navi AI HQ – 148 Townsend St, San Francisco, CA

​The Event

​Welcome to Navi AI’s Flight Lab, where developers, creators, and dreamers are building the next generation of aviation intelligence, from real-time flight analytics to AI copilots that never sleep.

​Whether you code, design, or analyze data, this is your runway to learn, build, and launch something extraordinary.

​We’ll have speakers from the U.S. Air Force, Civil Aviation, and Google, this event blends AI with real-world aviation insight.

​What’s Happening

​Aviation Hackathon: “The Future of Flight Intelligence”

​Your mission: transform real flight data into smart systems that help pilots fly safer, instructors train better, and aircraft operate more efficiently.

​We’ll supply you with:

• ​Real flight & cockpit data (civil + defense training missions)

• ​Audio, telemetry, weather, and FAA documentation

• ​Mentorship from engineers and pilots at Navi AI

​Challenges:

• ​Analyze live avionics to see if maneuvers meet FAA standards

• ​Detect pilot actions from cockpit video feeds

• ​Predict flight risk based on pilot, weather, and aircraft context

• ​Identify ATC miscommunications from radio transcripts

• ​Build an AI copilot that handles second-in-command tasks

​No aviation experience needed, just curiosity, creativity, and a laptop.

​We’re turning the “hangar” into a creative space:

​interactive demos, retro-futuristic music, flight-sim mini-games, giveaways, and plenty of caffeine to keep your ideas airborne.

​Build with AI Workshop:
Guided by Google Developer Experts, you’ll explore real-world applications, prototype tools using cutting-edge APIs, and leave with a working AI project — no matter your experience level.

​Top 10 Teams Take the Stage

​At the end of the day, the top 10 teams will present their creations to a panel of judges from Google, Navi AI, and the U.S. Air Force. You’ll have 5 minutes to pitch, 5 minutes to impress, and a chance to make your mark on the future of aviation tech.
