Nashville AI Builders Event: April Hackathon III @ Vanderbilt University
Nashville AI Builders — Hackathon III (April) @ Vanderbilt
Hackathon III is the capstone of the Nashville AI Builders series: the place to bring your best ideas, your sharpest execution, and your most polished demo.
Hosted at Vanderbilt University’s Engineering & Science Building.
The mission
Build an AI product that’s:
Useful (clear painkiller problem)
Working (not a slide deck)
Demoable (anyone can instantly “get it”)
Shippable (you could keep building after the weekend)
What we optimize for
Fast team formation + clear scopes
Mentor feedback loops that actually move the build
Demos judged on impact, execution, and product clarity
Community connections: builders, founders, students, and Nashville tech
Pro-tip: bring something you can scale
If you attended Hackathon I or II, Hackathon III is perfect for:
turning your prototype into a real product,
improving reliability and UX,
adding evals/guardrails,
deploying so other people can use it.
