AI Vibeathon: Teen Hackathon + Innovation Challenge
What happens when you give high school students a problem, a team, and the tools to build something about it?
On Thursday, September 24 at OSU-Tulsa, Tulsa-area high school students are invited to a free, one-day AI Vibeathon Builder Experience during Tulsa Tech Week.
No coding. No AI experience. No perfect idea required.
Students will spend the day working in teams to:
💡 Find a problem worth solving: Start with something they care about in their school, community, or everyday life.
🛠️ Build something real: Use beginner-friendly AI tools to turn an idea into a working prototype.
🤝 Meet people doing interesting things: Connect with builders, entrepreneurs, mentors, and college + career opportunities.
🚀 Show off what they made: Wrap the day with a Community Showcase where teams share their creations.
This isn't just for the “tech kids.” It's for the artists, athletes, gamers, entrepreneurs, problem-solvers, big thinkers, curious kids, and students who have never imagined themselves building with technology before.
Come with an idea or come with absolutely no idea. We'll take it from there.
