Friday, September 25, 2026 · 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. · Tech Flex, University Center Complex, Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, NJ
In person, one day. There is no remote track.
One day. One real business challenge. Student teams from every discipline design AI-enabled tools, apps and services that answer it — and make the case for the value they create. The best idea wins, not the best code.
Who can join
Undergraduate and graduate students, any school, any major. No technical background required. Register on your own and we will pair you with a team, or bring your own — there is no limit on team size.
The challenge
A partner company brings a real business problem, and company judges score the results. The official challenge statement is published here before the event. You will not need any private company data; public datasets are fine.
