Build Your Own One-Person AI Business Hackathon

​Ready to build your own one-person AI business? 🚀

​

​We’re excited to visit 6 campuses this spring to host our AI hackathon series.

​

​This one-day hackathon brings together students from all backgrounds to experiment, build, and imagine new possibilities with AI.

​

​This is your chance not just to learn about AI, but to actively shape how it can be used in creative and meaningful ways.

​

​One day. One challenge. Build your own AI-powered business, agent, tool, or startup.

​

​No fluff. No spectators. Just builders.

​

​🧠 CS students → come build
📊 Non-technical students → come explore what AI can do
🎓 Founders, designers, and researchers → come create something ambitious

​

​No experience needed. Just curiosity.

​

Overall Winner: Scooters + credits
