From Design to Ship - Build with AI One-day Hackathon @ WSTI

NOTE: Paid Tickets must be purchased on Eventbrite (Ticket Link)
Overview
Design and build an app in a day with Google's latest AI Tools and Capabilities. Powered by WSTI × Google
Spend a Saturday building your very own app using Google's newest AI tools. Google is teaming up with WSTI to bring Build with AI 2026 to Western Sydney.
In one day, you'll go from idea → design → working app using:

• Google Stitch — design UIs with AI
• Google Antigravity — build full apps with AI

No coding background needed. If you can describe what you want to build, these tools will help you build it.
