What happens when you give high school students 9 weeks, cutting-edge AI tools, and the freedom to solve real-world problems?💡
You get innovation that inspires.
This past April, our Code2College AI Developer Fellows took the stage at Spring AI Demo Day to present the AI solutions they designed and built — from an ASL recognition tutor 🤟, to a smart cooking assistant 🍳, wardrobe optimizer 👗, financial coach 💸, study helper 📚, safe-driving AI 🚗, and more.
Their work impressed not only the audience, but our distinguished panel of judges:
✨ Chris Hyams – Former CEO, Indeed
✨ John Berkowitz – Founder & Former CEO, OJO + Movoto.com
✨ Jag Bath – Former CEO of Favor Delivery & Chief Digital Officer, HEB
✨ Joe Curry – Principal, S3 Ventures
The creativity, technical skill, and confidence these students demonstrated are proof of what’s possible when you invest in the next generation of tech leaders.
Here’s to building pathways into AI, innovation, and opportunity. 🚀
