On the night of January 25–26, seventeen women, most of them first-time hackers, built seven projects in eighteen hours. Gouri, a solo participant, took first place with a travel companion website and earned a badge and a certificate. Sahil, Jinso and Abhiram mentored and judged. The event was one of 60+ Kerala venues in TinkerHub's 4000-women hackathon initiative.

Community program brings learning and conversations together
Community members came together at space for a day of learning, creative activities and conversation. Children took part in learning and creative sessions, while women joined a workshop focused on skills and livelihood opportunities. The program was designed to increase participation at the space, support children’s learning, and help women connect with each other and explore new possibilities.
Preparing the space for a community gathering
The team started preparing aikyam Space for an upcoming community program designed to bring people together. The gathering is planned as a space for community members to participate, get to know one another better, and gradually feel more connected to the space as their own.
The cats have made themselves at home
Our little cat friends continue to make themselves at home at aikyam space. As a pet-friendly space, we are exploring small ways to make the environment even more welcoming for animals, creating a place where both people and pets can feel comfortable.
Heavy rain paused all activities for the day
Due to heavy rainfall, all activities at aikyam space were paused for the day to ensure the safety of community members, children, and staff. While the sessions could not take place as planned, the break reminded us of the importance of putting safety first during extreme weather conditions.
