Columbus Externship Palooza Tech was a high-impact two-day program held at Christopher Columbus High School. On day one, we ran a 4-hour AI Vibe Code Buildathon led by Ralph Quintero and Gianni D’Alerta, where students created and pitched four functional startup ideas using AI tools. On day two, Gianni returned to co-mentor students with Agustin A. Cohen to polish their pitches and storytelling. The program demonstrated the power of experiential learning and gave students hands-on exposure to tech entrepreneurship.

The Challenge

  • Students often lack real-world, hands-on startup experience
  • Limited access to rapid prototyping and AI tools in high school environments
  • Teaching entrepreneurship in a short time frame can be overwhelming
  • Traditional classroom environments may not foster collaborative creation

Our Solution

  • Delivered a 4-hour hands-on AI Buildathon
  • Equipped students with pre-vetted tools for fast prototyping
  • Facilitated live mentorship and feedback loops
  • Focused on learning by doing and collaborative ideation
  • Provided a follow-up pitch refinement session
