# Welcome to the SF Hackathon 🎉
## Join the organization by clicking the 'Request to join this org' button on the top-right corner
- We would like to invite you to the **SF Hackathon**, a open source AI event in SF on March 31st at 6pm EST. The event will take place over one week online and in person on Friday, **starting from Wednesday, March 28th** and **ending on Wednesday, April 5th**.
- We will be organizing this event here on Huggingface Hub and will be communicating with participants through the HuggingFace Discord Server. Check the dedicated SF hackathon channel to stay updated with the event. Prizes will be given at the end of the event. See the Prizes section below.
## Hackathon Tracks :
Participants can take part in different tracks of the Themes Hackathon. Each track will have winners announced at the end of the event! These tracks are:
1. **Ethics Track** - Participants need to create the most ethics focused Gradio app. We will add the best/most creative theme to our set of default themes as a prize, plus the top three winners will get prizes.
2. **Healthcare Track** - Participants create Gradio themes targeting specific sectors like finance/health/education/art, or specific companies -- for example, a Hugging Face emoji theme or a meta blue theme, etc.
3. **Gradio Themes Track** focused themes - Participants can submit apps built around themes that prioritize inclusivity and accessibility. This segment places a strong emphasis on accessibility, for example, building an app with themes that are tailored to those who are colorblind or creating apps that support causes related to diversity and inclusion.
4. **Chatbot Track** themes - In this track, we encourage participants to design themes that give Gradio a completely different look and feel from its default theme. This involves creating unique combinations of colors, button designs, fonts, backgrounds, and other design elements to disguise Gradio's appearance and create a fresh and distinct user experience.
5. **Diffusers track** - Create Gradio demos using the Hugging Face Diffusers Library! Submit it to win a prize.
6. **Trasformers track** - Create Gradio demos using Hugging Transformers library! Submit it to win a prize.
7. **Anything track** - Anything goes create gradio demos for any of your ideas! Submit it to win a prize.
