AI Portland is excited to participate again in this year’s Portland Startup Week.

AI Portland Build Challenge is a one‑day civic‑focused hackathon where teams build AI-powered projects to make life in Portland better, culminating in a 5 pm showcase in front of our panel of judges.

Whether you’re an AI expert, a creative problem-solver, or simply AI-curious—there’s a place for you in this challenge. No coding experience required! The most innovative solutions come from diverse perspectives working together.

​This is your opportunity to connect with Portland’s growing AI community, learn through doing, and transform ideas from zero to one in a supportive, collaborative environment.

Stay tuned for more event details!
