Why this weekend matters

The opportunity

Students in a lecture theatre during a workshop

The Problem

UK universities teach AI theory, not AI entrepreneurship. Students graduate knowing AI but not building it. The industry is desperate for builders.

Mentor demoing a live-coded dashboard

Our Solution

A free weekend hack across three applied tracks set with industry and public-sector partners, plus workshops, talks, mentors on the floor, and a demo fair where you show what you shipped.

Packed hall at the opening keynote

The Crew

120 student builders from UK universities — a deliberate mix of courses, universities and experience levels, with places held for first-time hackers.

Participants networking between sessions

Who it's for / What you'll leave with

Ambitious students who want to build, not just study. You leave with a shipped portfolio project, a denser network, and direct exposure to the partners judging and mentoring on the floor.
