about this event

Sponsored by Databricks, come build projects with AI, meet engineers and win prizes and accreditations. WAGMI-Connect will also be hosting.

Spend time building with AI on Databricks, guided by the engineers who work on the platform itself. Over three days at Queens College, you'll form a small team, take on a live challenge, and leave with a finished project, a professional network, and a real Databricks credential. WAGMI-Connect will also be there to host their networking session where tech professionals can congregate and meet.

What to Expect:

Friday, Sept 18 · 3:00 - 8:00 PM (check-in from 2:00 PM) — Pick up your badge and goodie bag, meet the room, and form a team of two or three. The challenge is revealed at kickoff... and the build begins.

Saturday, Sept 19 · 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM — A full day to build. Get unstuck by Databricks engineers, make progress toward your accreditation, connect with professionals in the WAGMI-Connect corner, and book your headshot slot.

Sunday, Sept 20 · 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM — Final build time in the morning, then demos in the afternoon. Every team presents, and judges select the top ten to take the main stage for a 3 to 5 minute demo. Winners are chosen by the Databricks team.

Who it's for: Students and career-changers building with AI for the first time, and anyone already in tech who wants to sharpen their skills, meet the next wave of talent, and leave with a project and a credential worth showing.
