This summer, TechBuffalo and the Golisano Institute for Business & Entrepreneurship are running the BusinessReady Tech Design Challenge, a hands-on series where students use today's AI tools to solve real problems submitted by Western New York startups.

You don't need any coding experience. If you're curious about business, entrepreneurship, marketing, data, or tech, you'll spend the day (or two) working in a small team with mentors from TechBuffalo and Golisano, then pitch your solution to a panel of judges.

Each session also includes a tour of our Buffalo campus, a Metro Rail ride through downtown, time to connect with local entrepreneurs, and lunch on us.

The details: 125 Washington St, Buffalo. 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM. Free to attend.

Three opportunities to join:

July 29, Accelerated Discovery Day 1, a one-day innovation sprint: https://hubs.ly/Q04p4KMg0

August 4-5, Two-Day AI Deep Dive, with time to interview the client and refine your pitch: https://hubs.ly/Q04p4hNP0

That's a wrap on our second PowerUpTech Tech Design Challenge of the summer! Teams of interns worked on real-world problems from nonprofit partners Girl Scouts of Western New York, United Way of Buffalo & Erie County, and the 43North Foundation and pitched their solutions to a panel of judges.

A huge thank you to all our nonprofit partners, coaches, judges, employers, and (of course) interns! Buffalo's future is bright and the Tech Design Challenge shows exactly why.
