What to look forward to
Playground will be a hands-on AI building session where participants use Replit to turn an idea into a working application, with no coding experience required. The event will bring together students, founders, designers, engineers, and product enthusiasts to build solo or in teams and share what they create.
Inside the event
Join us at Cornell Tech for Playground, a hands-on AI building experience powered by Replit, where you'll go from idea to working application in one afternoon.
