Hackathon @ Fordham Gabelli
⚡Fordham Gabelli School of Business In Collaboration with PulseNYC and CASTGNY
Hackathon
Build. Ship. Present.
AI is moving faster than anyone expected.
New models drop weekly. Tools improve daily. Entire workflows are being redesigned in real time.
But the edge in this era is not who consumes the most content.
It is who builds!
At CASTGNY in collaboration with Pulse NYC, we believe the fastest way to understand AI is to use it. To design with it. To ship with it.
This is a one day intensive build experience where you move from zero to working MVP in hours, not months.
You will not just talk about AI. You will build with it.
🔥 What Makes This Different
• Real world challenge revealed live at the venue
• Full day sprint from idea to MVP
• Builders across technical and business backgrounds
• Live demos and structured judging
• High signal room capped at 80 participants
The core prompt will be announced in person. Come ready to think fast and build even faster.
