301 AD is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization focused on cultivating the next era of entrepreneurs through AI literacy and Soft-skills development.
Our RenAIssance Hackathon is a 2-day solo innovation challenge designed to help students bring business ideas to life using AI-accelerated development tools. Student participants will receive hands-on training in both technical and soft skills — from building an MVP to crafting a powerful pitch. Over one weekend, you’ll think like a founder, build like a creator, and walk away with the confidence to present your new idea to the world.
This registration page is for any eligible student interested in participating & competing in the hackathon. If you are not a student, but still interested in attending Day 2 of the event as a guest, please register here: https://luma.com/c7wbuz5o
