A hands-on event that brings together creative minds and problem solvers to develop practical AI-powered solutions for the construction industry.
From site logistics and safety to planning, sustainability, and smarter workflows, you’ll work in teams on real-world challenges and turn ideas into prototypes within a short, high-energy format. Whether you’re studying AI, engineering, architecture, or already working in construction (or just excited about innovation), this is your chance to help shape the future of construction – and build something that matters.
