about this event
One day. One real business challenge. Student teams from every discipline design AI-enabled tools, apps and services that answer it — and make the case for the value they create. The best idea wins, not the best code.
Who can join: Undergraduate and graduate students, any school, any major. No technical background required. Register on your own and you will be paired with a team, or bring your own — there is no limit on team size.
The challenge: A partner company brings a real business problem, and company judges score the results. The official challenge statement is published here before the event. You will not need any private company data; public datasets are fine.
Schedule: 8:00 a.m. — Check-in and breakfast; 9:00 a.m. — Opening remarks: the challenge, the judging criteria, and what to submit; 9:30 a.m. — Building starts. Mentors are on site 11:00 – 12:30 and 1:00 – 2:30; 12:00 p.m. — Lunch; 3:00 p.m. — Projects due; 3:00 – 4:30 p.m. — Final presentations: five minutes per team, then questions from the judges; 4:30 – 5:00 p.m. — Judging and awards.
How to register: Registration is handled on the Stevens form, not on Devpost. Following or registering on this page does not sign you up for the event.
Prizes: To be announced.
