Nonprofit AI Problem Clinic @ DC Startup and Tech Week

​Bring a real problem. Leave with practical options, and a potential prototype.

​What it is: Live triage, co-design, consulting.

​- Nonprofits explain a real problem for their organization or within their subject matter expertise.
- A short panel Q&A clarifies and advises.
- Then we break into small groups where volunteers work with each org to propose solutions or use AI tools to rapidly prototype concepts.
