#BUIDLathon

AI for what? AI for good. Here’s what happened during the AI for Good Hackathon at @columbia ⚡ The hackathon was run by @joselynp.journal from @tiba.columbia and @elsa_bis of @the_fomo_club. In partnership with @rohan.gurram @mycliqk @elevenlabsio @serstaxx VibeflOW (YC S25) @matchbox.party @gymtext.co Our @CoeusCollective team was on-site to capture the action! This Hackathon proved that intense technical progress can occur rapidly using AI tools, and that solutions that have a net-positive benefit on society can be created at scale from the technical opportunity currently available to us all. Congrats to winners Sushmita Dhekne & Antonella Perrone, second place Lalitya Putri Gitaanjali & Denisha Vanda Ersa Firsty, and third place Aaron Bengochea!

250 builders in one room on a Wednesday night in Toronto. This city is not playing around. Speakers that actually inspired. A hackathon where people were genuinely helping each other. Demos that made you proud to be in the room. The energy here is real. #torontocommunity #techcommunity #aibuilder #cursor

Day trip to @meta in SF! 📱 We got to connect with brilliant Columbia alumni to talk about all things big tech and innovation 🚀 #meta #siliconvalley #tech #columbia #hackertown

POV: your uni hosts an AI hackathon. The challenge: rethinking cybersecurity with AI. Students and the wider tech community came together to build innovative tools. Cybersecurity-focused vibe coding hack – completed it.

Still processing this moment… ✨ From a Chemical Engineer who once doubted coding, to winning 🏆 Best Novel Business Product at an AI Hackathon in Soho, New York 🇺🇸 36 hours. New skills. Stepping way outside my comfort zone. And somehow, standing among some of the best coders across the U.S. Proof that growth begins where comfort ends 🚀 Grateful for my team, this journey, and every lesson along the way. Maybe my last hackathon at Cornell… but definitely not the end of this story 🤍 Blessings and good wishes always 🙏 #HackathonWin #AICoding #FromZeroToOne #ComfortZoneChallenge #CornellUniversity EngineerToCoder GrowthMindset NextChapter SohoNYC TechJourney InnovationMindset StudentSuccess DreamBigWorkHard

A week ago, we took over Waterloo for HackCanada! From late-night debugging to final pitches, the passion was palpable. With a staggering 250 projects submitted, the level of innovation was off the charts. Huge shoutout to everyone who built, broke, and created something new. This is just the beginning! #ai #gdgwaterloo #watdev
