Build Weekend NYC

New York City — venue shared with accepted families

A weekend AI build sprint for ages 9–16. Bring an idea you actually care about, build it with AI alongside founder-mentors, and put it live on the internet by Sunday.

Build Weekend runs Saturday morning through Sunday night — an idea workshop, long build blocks with founder-mentors floating table to table, workshops on shipping and debugging, and a Saturday evening dinner with an Alpha Head of School fireside. It ends with a live showcase, finals on stage, and awards.

Free for accepted participants. 30 spots, ages 9–16. There is no overnight component — parents handle all transport, and hard wrap times are published in advance.

Applying takes two minutes: name, email, and one short paragraph on why you — or your child — is a good fit for the weekend. Spots are limited, so we review every application and confirm by email.
