Do you have an idea and have started building a prototype. Now it’s time to explore the potential of what you’ve created.

During this Buildathon, you’ll begin by exploring what problem your prototype solves, who it’s relevant for, and whether it could be developed into something more. You’ll gain new perspectives and tools from business developers at the Innovation Office, and then continue to build, test, and develop your prototype on-site.
Who is it for?
Buildathon is for anyone who has already started building with a Vibe coding tool and has a project they want to develop further. It’s open to everyone, whether you’re a student, researcher, employee, or just building on your own.
