Internship: For the winning team

Why this day exists

Everyone has used AI. Almost nobody has shipped with it.

Every management student has “used” ChatGPT.
Very few have actually built something with it, under pressure, against a real deadline, on a real business problem.
That gap, between knowing AI exists and knowing how to lead with it, is exactly what one day can close.

Two tracks

Pick the problem you already know

Every team applies to one track and submits an idea in that space. Both run on the same day, in the same room, judged to the same bar.
