Build a working AI project at this hands-on workshop hosted by Make in Barcelona on 18 September 2026. Designed as a practical lead-up to AI Summit Barcelona 2026, this four-hour, laptop-open session prioritises making over passive listening: arrive with a clear idea and leave having built something tangible.
What to expect
The workshop runs from 5:00pm to 9:00pm GMT+2 at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center. After a quick introduction and framing session, attendees will split into focused groups of five to ten people. Each group will follow a shared curriculum with guidance from an experienced lead, creating space for personal support, faster progress and practical problem-solving.
The evening includes:
A concise introduction to set goals and frame the build
A substantial hands-on AI project session in small, led groups
A short Q&A about ethical AI and responsible building
Networking at the end of the evening, sponsored by Make
Every attendee will receive 25,000 Make credits, enabling participants to experiment during the workshop and continue developing automations and AI agents afterwards. Make provides a visual environment for managing workflows and agents, with connections to more than 3,000 apps. Its transparent approach lets teams see workflow logic and build without relying on developers. More information is available on the Make website.
Who should apply?
This is an intermediate-level workshop, not an introductory talk about AI. It is aimed at builders ready to create something real, including aspiring founders and professionals who want to automate processes or improve how they work with AI.
The workshop centres women and non-binary people building with AI. Men are welcome when attending alongside a woman or non-binary participant. Bring your own laptop and come prepared with a specific project idea you want to explore.
Attendance is application-based and places are limited. The hosts review every registration to keep groups focused and working at a similar level, so applicants should answer the registration questions clearly and explain what they intend to build. Registration is subject to approval, and the exact location details are shared with approved participants.…

Mozilla Festival 2026 brings a three-day conference on AI, the open web and digital rights to Barcelona, Spain, from 28–30 October 2026. Why this event matters As artificial intelligence becomes more deeply embedded in online products and services, questions about who controls technology, and how it affects the people using it, are increasingly important. Mozilla Festival 2026 places AI, open-web principles and digital rights within the same conversation, making it a relevant event for anyone interested in the future of the internet. The conference’s stated focus spans three closely connected areas: - Artificial intelligence, including its growing role in the digital world - The open web, and the principles that keep the internet accessible and open - Digital rights, covering the relationship between people, technology and online power Bringing these themes together creates space to consider AI as more than a standalone technical development. The festival’s scope points towards the wider implications of intelligent systems for the web and for the rights of those who use it. Who should consider attending? Mozilla Festival 2026 will be particularly relevant to developers, technologists, AI practitioners, open-web advocates and people working in or exploring digital rights. It may also appeal to product builders, researchers, policymakers and community organisers whose work intersects with internet technology.
