About Event
AI Portland Build Challenge is a one‑day civic‑focused hackathon where teams build AI-powered projects to make life in Portland better, culminating in a 5 pm showcase in front of our panel of judges.
Whether you're an AI expert, a creative problem-solver, or simply AI-curious—there's a place for you in this challenge. No coding experience required! The most innovative solutions come from diverse perspectives working together.
This is your opportunity to connect with Portland's growing AI community, learn through doing, and transform ideas from zero to one in a supportive, collaborative environment.
