A guided AI buildathon for your organization: structured sprints, real-time mentoring, and a verified digital badge for every participant. Not a hackathon where people get stuck. Every sprint is guided, start to finish.
Before the event, we design the challenges around real problems, not toy exercises, pick and set up the AI tool stack, and onboard participants at their skill level.
On the day, our team runs structured build sprints with guided checkpoints and real-time mentoring, then a live showcase. Every participant earns a digital badge (Open Badges 3.0 via Badge Kit). Afterward you get a hosted project gallery, an impact report, and follow-up learning recommendations.
