About

What is Promptathon?

Promptathon is a fast-paced, hands-on challenge where students use AI to build, explain, and solve real problems in just a few hours. It is designed to show how much you can achieve when you know how to ask the right questions, break problems down, and use AI efficiently.

Mission

We create a collaborative lab for students, educators, and mentors to practice unlock students' full potential with AI. By the end of the competition, you will be surprised by how much you can build, understand, and present in a single afternoon. Get hands dirty in building with AI, meet excited teammates and unparalled mentors. And of course, we have free pizza!

  • Turn rough ideas into clear, impressive results in just a few hours.

  • Learn how to stay in control while using AI to supercharge your thinking and creativity.

  • Take on bold, interdisciplinary challenges spanning storytelling, data, design, and real-world decision-making.
