[Techlahoma](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/techlahoma)'s free [open-source](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/open-source) [hackathon](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/hackathon) in Oklahoma City, a weekend of pitching ideas, forming teams, building and demoing projects with [mentors](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/mentor) and workshops. Its 2025 edition had an AI focus and was held at [StarSpace46](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/starspace46), with Techlahoma among its sponsors. Discussed in the [Techlahoma Slack](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/techlahoma-slack) as a hackathon with AI challenges suitable for newcomers, and as having offered an introductory How To Hackathon class in 2024.

**For example:** A [founder](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/founder) with no team yet [pitches](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/pitch-deck) an idea on Oklathon's first night and leaves Sunday with a working [demo](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/prototype) and two people who want to keep building it.
