A 4-hour build event where developers, creatives & community voices team up to create real digital tools for a cause
About this Event

This Is a Build Event. Not a Pitch Fest.


On May 7th, 10x Velocity and the AMPED Technology Center are hosting a four-hour hackathon to create real digital tools and content for Play Cousins Collective — a Louisville organization delivering transformative programming for children and families throughout our West End.


Every person who registers is a participant. There are no spectators here.

Space is limited and intentionally so. We need creative and focused builders at every table.

Before the event, you'll receive a follow-up registration form to identify your scope and niche so we can evenly distribute experience and talent among teams. A laptop isn't a must but if you have one you'll want it with you!

---


Who's in the room:

Russell Technology Business Incubator members, Shawnee High School Business Academy students, startup founders, local developers, vibe coders, marketers, designers, and community creatives. You do not need a technical background to contribute — in fact, we need people who don't have one. The best outcomes come from all voices in the room, not just the ones who know how to code.


There will also be a DJ, snacks, and if all goes to plan, a pirate.

---


Who we're building for:

Play Cousins Collective provides Play & Learn Labs for children, plus workshops for adults on gentle parenting, village building, and community communication. They serve the families of Louisville's West End. They do real work. They deserve a digital presence that shows it and helps them in their mission

Your team will help make that happen in four hours.

---


What you get:

Lovable web builder credits — so your team can ship something real, not just a mockup.

A table full of people who showed up to actually do something and have some fun.

The satisfaction of handing a nonprofit a deliverable they can really use.

New connections, side quests, fun and perhaps even some prizes(!)

Oh yeah...and the snacks.

---

Register only if you plan to build.

We'll see you at AMPED.
