It’s time to roll up your sleeves and see what you can build alongside other smart folks.
CONNECT. LEARN. BUILD.


Make New Connections
Are you itching to build something cool? Want to meet others who do, too? What if while doing that you find companies hiring interns and startups looking for co-founders or early employees?


Open the Door
You can’t let this new wave of emerging technologies leave you behind. Fortunately, we are gathering Nebraska’s best and brightest (that’s you!) to challenge folks to put AI, gaming engines, spatial computing, and other emerging technologies to the test.


Find Collaborators
Bring an idea to build or join a team. The choice is yours. We’ll provide the food, drink, and prizes. You can enjoy three tech talks before forming your team and getting to work.
