Overview

Built with AI. Learn by doing. Reflect to grow. 2 DAYS HACKATHON

An 8-hour, hands-on sprint where pre-assigned teams use AI to turn a problem into a solution. Coached by AI & Marketing mentors, and closed with judging, awards, and a guided debrief to lock in the learning.


This is not just a competition, it’s a structured, supportive learning journey.

We eliminate the usual time sinks:

  • Teams are pre-assigned for diversity

  • Problem statements are assigned by random draw, allowing you to dive straight into creation and problem-solving.

  • You’ll learn by doing with supportive coaches and mentors

  • Learn by reflecting in a signature debrief to turn the weekend into lasting skills.

Who this is for

Aspiring global innovators, expats, international students, and Koreans with global ideas, especially those curious about building AI-powered solutions.

What you’ll experience

  • Structured freedom: pre-assigned teams (3–4) and assigned problem statements to focus energy on solving from minute one.

  • Aligned mentorship: AI mentors for technical/feasibility guidance and Marketing mentors for go-to-market viability, briefed to support the process without hijacking it.

  • Learning that lasts: a final debrief that transforms the sprint into a transferable insight.
