Vibe Iceland is Iceland's first AI and vibe coding hackathon for high school students. Over one weekend, participants will work on real projects with the help of artificial intelligence, receive guidance from mentors, and present their solutions to a judging panel.

The participants of Vibe Iceland are ambitious high school students who are interested in technology, innovation, and the future. Through the event, we want to give them the opportunity to build real solutions with the help of artificial intelligence, learn from mentors from the business world, and meet other young people who want to create, build, and make an impact.

Over three days, participants will work in teams to develop ideas into real solutions with the help of artificial intelligence. They will receive guidance from mentors from the business world, take part in workshops, meet other ambitious young people, and present their projects to a judging panel at the end of the event. The goal is to learn, create, and experience how an idea can become reality in a single weekend.

Vibe Iceland is only the beginning. The goal is to build an annual event that becomes the largest platform for young people in Iceland in the fields of artificial intelligence, innovation, and entrepreneurship. In the coming years, we aim to increase the number of participants, bring more companies and mentors on board, and create connections with the international innovation community. In the long term, we want Vibe Iceland to become the place where the next generation of Icelandic entrepreneurs, founders, and technology leaders meet, learn, and build ideas that can have an impact far beyond Iceland.

Vibe Iceland will take place at Gróska, one of Iceland's leading centers for innovation and entrepreneurship. It is home to startups, technology companies, investors, and entrepreneurs working together to build the future. By hosting the event at Gróska, participants get the opportunity to experience an environment where ideas become companies and innovation becomes reality. Gróska therefore creates the perfect platform for Iceland's next generation of entrepreneurs and technology leaders.
