- **Event Description**: ABOUT THE CHALLENGE

Welcome to the AI for Learning & Development Build Challenge with the AI Collective Hampton Roads Chapter to be held at the Regent University Library in Virginia Beach.

This is a local build challenge with an in-person kickoff, followed by a two-week build phase, then an in-person presentation & judging event.

You'll have two weeks to build an AI application based on the problem statement shared at the kickoff event. This AI Build Challenge is open to adult participants of all skill levels, from experienced developers to beginner using no or low code tools. You're encouraged to use AI tools to further your development. After the build phase, you'll deliver an in-person presentation to judges and other attendees. The winning projects will receive prizes (TBA).

Kickoff on Thursday, June 4th from 6:30–8:00pm.
We encourage you to join us in person in the Regent Library Auditorum, but the kickoff will be also be recorded if you're unable to attend.

Build Phase from June 5th through 18th. You can work individually or in teams.

Presentations & Judging on Thursday, June 18th from 6:30–9:00pm. Return to the Regent Library Auditorium to share your work! Presentations must be delivered in person to be considered for judging and prizes.

GET STARTED

The first thing you should do is register through Devpost before the June 4th Kickoff.

You can work individually or in teams, but registration is important because space is limited. Then plan to come out to the Kickoff event to discover the problem statement and receive inspiration and development guidance from our AI Collective experts.

If you're unable to attend the in-person Kickoff, that's okay because we'll share a recording after the event with those who pre-register.

This is a beginner-friendly event. If you're never participated in a build challenge or hackathon, this is your opportunity! The Kickoff will include some initial guidance regarding topics and tools, and we'll make additional online resources available during the two week build phase.
