BUILD’23?

BUILD is an event bridging students' passion for new and emerging technologies and positive social impact. Within BUILD’23, participants are to use any form of new technology (e.g. Blockchain, AI, Nanotechnology) to create a hack addressing one of the global issue tracks.

Code + No-code inclusivity

We believe that building can take place in many forms - code or no-code. In BUILD’23, there are two routes for every track: technical and non-technical.

Whether you are a designer, debater, writer, or other, you are welcome to attend BUILD’23 through the non-technical route. If you are a coder, then we’d recommend the technical route. If you are introductory to code, we have workshops of all levels to accommodate!
