Are you a young changemaker passionate about solving systemic challenges with the power of humanity-centred design and AI?

Join this intensive, full-day Hackathon hosted by RSA powered by the Watson Institute, in partnership with Google, the Google Data Centre Community AI Fellowship, and learning design studio SOGLAB. We are committed to the critical mission of humanising creativity and driving lasting social, economic, and environmental impact.

We are seeking 30 pioneers of change (ages 18-25) ready to move beyond passive discussion and prototype humanity-centred solutions for systemic action. This is your chance to turn lived experience with community challenges into next-generation, scalable solutions.

In this AI-powered humanity-centred design (HCD+) workshop, you will deep dive into the creative wisdom mindset:

  • Think like a philosopher: Learn to apply AI ethics mapping to analyse systemic problems for bias and harm.
  • Create like a designer: Rapidly generate and prioritise humanity-centred solutions for pressing issues.
  • Act like an innovator: Build tangible prototypes using Google AI Studio and Google Labs to influence policy and scale community impact.

Exclusive benefits for attendees

All participants receive an AI-powered humanity-centred design workshop participation certificate, powered by Google and Watson Institute. Plus, 10 lucky attendees will be awarded a Grow with Google Career Certificate Program Scholarship, offering job-ready skills training in high-demand fields like data analytics, UX design, and more.

Spaces are strictly limited to 30 participants. Secure your spot now to unlock your creative wisdom and become a true pioneer of change.
