Liaoye and Shenzhen Rural Commercial Bank's Longgang Sub-branch co-hosted a custom AI Youth Maker Mini Hackathon for the bank's high-net-worth clients, for children aged 8–18 and their parents: one family, two builders.
A Sunday afternoon, 14:30–17:00 — no lecturing, just building something once. It ended with the kids on stage collecting awards, including Best AI Application.
Liaoye partnered with China Merchants Bank Shenzhen Branch on a custom AI Youth Maker Mini Hackathon for the bank's Sunflower clients, with children and parents at the same tables.
First, telling large models, AI products and coding tools apart, and working out what AI can do and what it should not be blindly trusted with; then laptops open, building together. The rule for the day: AI helps create; the builder chooses, judges and signs off.
The first Cross-Gen Builders meetup, co-hosted by Liaoye Hackathon Club and Vibe Coders: adult builders and youth builders take the stage in turn, each bringing something they actually built.
No grown-ups table and no kids table — only ideas and the people making them. Three hours inside a real building session.
