AI BUILDERS WEEKEND · MTSU · NOVEMBER 20–22, 2026Free registration is open ↗
NASHVILLE + TENNESSEE · OPEN TO FIRST STEPS

A little of your time.
A big first step for someone.

Mentor a beginner, review projects, help on the day, or bring your campus into the room. Tell us where you can contribute.

Mentor a builder.

Help people scope a project, get unstuck or tell their product’s story. Business, design, AI, software and customer research expertise can all be useful.

Offer your expertise

Help judge the demos.

Bring a thoughtful perspective to the Sunday showcase. Share your experience and availability, and disclose any team or sponsor conflicts to organizers.

Discuss judging

Bring your community.

Share a flyer, introduce the event in a class or student organization, or help with participant support and event-day logistics.

Make an introduction
Volunteer roles and shifts are confirmed directly with organizers. Sending an inquiry does not place you on the mentor or judge roster.
BRING A CAMPUS. BRING A PERSPECTIVE.

Nashville, Middle Tennessee and beyond.

We welcome participation from MTSU, Vanderbilt, Belmont, Lipscomb, Fisk, Trevecca, TSU, Tennessee Tech, UTC, UTK, community colleges and other campuses. This is an invitation, not a list of confirmed institutional partners.
