Hack Club

Innovation Galway × ElevenLabs

Building for the youth

A hackathon for students, by students. Ship it when the code is on GitHub and someone can open the project in a browser.

How can technology create better opportunities and experiences for young people?

Stuck for an idea? Steal one

  • A study buddy that quizzes you out loud before the Leaving Cert.
  • An audio guide to Galway, told in the voices of the people who live here.
  • A game where the characters actually talk back.
  • A tool that helps someone who finds it hard to speak up in class.

How to ship your project

Do this in order. The form needs the GitHub link and a page someone can open.

  1. 01

    Put the code on GitHub

    Create a repository, then push the project. Open the repository and copy the address from the browser. It looks like https://github.com/you/your-project. That address is the code URL.

  2. 02

    Host it so it has a playable URL

    This link opens the project itself, not the GitHub page. A static site can use GitHub Pages. Anything else can go on Vercel. When the page loads, copy that address. That is the playable URL.

  3. 03

    Write the README yourself

    Use your own words. Don't paste a generated README. Say what it does, how to run it, how you used ElevenLabs, and what you learned. If you need the API, start at the ElevenLabs quickstart.

  4. 04

    The rest of the form

    Code URL from step 01. Playable URL from step 02. A screenshot: a picture of it running, already hosted, as a public link. A short description of what you built. Team members: the names of everyone on it.

  5. 05

    Send it in
