​🚀 SoCo AI Solutions Challenge Sprint

​Monday, August 24th | 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Exponential Impact HQ | Colorado Springs, CO

​Forget theoretical AI demos. This is a hands-on working session where you'll use today's leading AI tools to solve a real problem.

​Led by the team at BoodleBox, this immersive workshop will help you move beyond simply using AI to thinking strategically about how to solve problems with it.

​The day follows the  Lowrance Curve — Define, Design, Create, Validate  — a practical operating model for AI-enabled problem solving.

​You will start by defining the problem manually before choosing a tool. From there, you will design an AI-enabled workflow, compare tools like  ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, BoodleBox, and other leading AI platforms, build a solution with your team, and validate your work through presentations and feedback.

​Whether you are an entrepreneur, creator, founder, technology leader, educator, student, or professional from any industry, you will leave with practical AI skills, new connections, and a real solution you helped create.

​After the morning sessions, participants will break into teams to collaborate throughout the challenge. Each team will combine their individual strengths to develop creative, AI-powered solutions with coaching and support from the BoodleBox team.

​The day concludes with team presentations, shared lessons learned, and an awards ceremony. The winning team will receive a $500 cash prize for demonstrating the most creative, effective, and impactful solution.
