Built from and for the community
Pop-Up City 2026 · Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca.
May 11 to 18, 2026.
We are a group of builders, developers, designers, AI engineers, researchers, and community operators who gathered for a week in Puerto Escondido to create the first version of this open tool. IAldea is the step from hackathons and community activations into civic infrastructure, driven by ETH Cinco de Mayo: a LATAM builder community with presence in Mexico City, Puebla, Edomex, Guadalajara, and Cholula.
