Demo Day: Inference AI Academy Cohorts 2/3
What if you could watch someone go from “I have an idea” to “Wait… it actually works” in a few weeks?
That’s what Inference AI Academy Demo Day is: a public showcase of projects our students have been building — with all the real-world messiness, iteration, and “first working prototype!!” energy that comes with shipping something for the first time 🚀
Join us for an evening of demos, project stories, and thoughtful feedback from our guest judges.
What You’ll See
Live project demos
Everything from scrappy first prototypes to projects that are already starting to feel real — plus the story behind how they got there.Build process + lessons learned
Students will walk through what they built, what broke, what changed, and what they’d do next.Feedback from guest judges
Live reactions, practical suggestions, and guidance on what to improve if they keep building.
