Oakland Tech Week: Build Different: AI x Community Design Sprint

​What if communities helped shape AI before it was built?

​Join /dev/color and Dream Machine Academy for an interactive design sprint where experienced technologists, AI practitioners, founders, designers, and community leaders collaborate to tackle real-world challenges using AI.

​Working in cross-functional teams, you'll co-design practical, community-informed AI solutions, explore responsible AI frameworks, and build a tangible concept, from a prototype or workflow to an implementation roadmap, that could realistically be brought to life within 90 days.

​Whether you're an engineer, product leader, entrepreneur, designer, or community advocate, you'll leave with new connections, actionable tools, and a fresh perspective on building AI that is both innovative and impactful.

​You'll leave with:

• ​A community-informed AI solution concept

• ​Practical frameworks for responsible AI

• ​New connections across the Bay Area tech ecosystem

• ​A prototype, workflow, or implementation roadmap to continue beyond the event

​Come build with purpose, and help shape the future of AI alongside the communities it serves.
